<p class="fontlook"><B>Community Service at Carrollton</B>
 
<p class="fontlook">In addition to numerous service activities provided by individual students, classes and clubs throughout the school year; at Carrollton all of the students and teachers in grades 3 through 12 travel to service sites  around Dade County on two or three school days.  This year, the intermediate school entertained young children in pre-school programs and seriously ill children in the pediatric ward at Jackson Memorial Hospital.  The junior high school provided fun and friendship for senior citizens, and the high school worked with Habitat for Humanity in the fall  and at environmental restoration projects in the spring. 

<p class="fontlook">As part of the Primary School’s commitment to community service, with the help and direction of Dr. Von Beebe, Director of Community Learning at Carrollton, the third grade did a project that focused on the life of a migrant child.  The week entailed various activities. The week began on Monday, March 30, with a presentation by Rachel Bueno and Rosa Farfan, two women that were at one time working in Homestead in the migrant fields and today are Miami-Dade Public School teachers.  Each day of the week, the girls participated in different activities such as writing letters to the migrant children, having a simple lunch on one day, going to a farm to pick tomatoes, not having snack on one day, reading short stories and seeing a film on the topic. The project also included a collection from all of the Montessori and Primary students of book bags, pencils, crayons and notebooks.  The week culminated with the third grade girls packing each book bag with school supplies for migrant students who enter school at all grade levels.

<p class="fontlook">The Intermediate School focuses its service commitment on three on-going projects/areas, though the students can also make individual proposals for our collective action as a community and submit their proposals to the Intermediate School Director for approval.  These three areas of social justice and community service include involvement with the Haitian community through visits to Notre Dame Pre-school Day Care Center and frequent collaboration with Amor En Accion, with the migrant community primarily through visits to the Redlands Christian Migrant Center and with children with disabilities mainly, but not exclusively, through our visits to Jackson Pediatric Center. Additionally, the Intermediate School has had a daily recycling program for three years, in which every Intermediate student is actively involved. There is also a student leadership program through the homeroom representatives who can and do initiate actions for others, most of which benefit the people of Haiti or the children of the Barnyard. The 5th and 6th graders go weekly to volunteer with the children at the Barnyard and bring healthy snacks for them every week.
