The LEAGUE is a school- and web-based system that provides the tools and resources to teach students about giving, service and civic engagement. From schoolyard to backyard, being a great parent leaves a lasting impression on our children. So why not spend time with your child while teaching them the importance of giving back?
To kick off this school year’s events we’re asking parents to get their child’s school involved with ONE DAY. The LEAGUE ONE DAY Event is a “servathon” where students identify, organize and plan a service project that meets a need in their community, and sign up friends and family to sponsor them (if they choose) in advance. Students can create their very own service project such as visiting seniors, tutoring peers, or cleaning up neighborhoods. ONE DAY is a great way to get involved in your child’s school! This event starts September 17th and runs through October 8th.
ONE DAY starts the beginning of The LEAGUE 2008-2009 event season and then comes THE DRIVE, The LEAGUE’s annual holiday food and clothing collection. Exciting for this year THE LEAGUE will be offering a SCHOLARSHIP, through the generosity of the John S. and James L. KNIGHT FOUNDATION; students will be using journalism to highlight the positive impact they are making in their communities. All of which will be taking place throughout this school year.
Get your children involved, educators sign your class up and let’s see what we can do together. Visit THE LEAGUE today!
