Great post, Jeremy. Serving and community connection are such underrated aspects of what we do as teachers. As we talked about the other day, it's part of our calling (and even, as we discussed, our ministry of sending decent people out into the world. Great work! Sounds like an amazing experience.
I appreciate the emphasis on starting small. Service learning doesn’t have to be grand to be meaningful. If it feels real to students — if it connects curriculum to community — then it’s doing exactly what education should: preparing young people not just to know, but to care and act.

Thanks, Dan. It's one of my favorite parts of my school culture. We're encouraged to incorporate service learning wherever it makes sense.
