Kids and the Community

I feel that it is very important for kids to feel like part of a community. Our community has a lot to offer in the way of learning experiences. From visiting local libraries and museums to riding public transit or visiting public parks and gardens kids can learn a lot about what our neighborhood and our city has to offer as well as what it means to be a member of that community. It is my hope that through these experiences the kids will gain both a love of, and a sense of responsibility to, their community. I want their community and their environment to matter to them and be something they will stand up for in the future. And the first step to raising a generation who cares about community and the environment is to instill a love of their own community and environment from the beginning.
