Service Leadership

The Service We Do

Resurrection students work toward a mission of building a community that reaches out to the poor and homeless, helping to build a world where peace and social justice reign.

Last year our efforts continued and the school supported local organizations in need with the following:

✓ Over 100 Halloween costumes were collected for InnVision children

✓ Food drive collections for Resurrection’s St. Vincent de Paul organization

✓ Cold weather clothing was collected for local shelters

✓ The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th grades prepared 350 complete Thanksgiving lunches

✓ Students crafted Easter baskets full of toiletries for the local women’s shelter

Students in 5th through 8th grade are asked to complete service hours as part of the overall curriculum.

• 5th Grade - 10 service hours per year

• 6th Grade - 15 service hours per year

• 7th Grade - 20 service hours per year

• 8th Grade - 30 service hours per year

The theme for our outreach activities is “Res Kids L.O.V.E.”. This stands for “Res Kids Live Outreach Values Everyday”. Look for the red L.O.V.E. collection buckets in the classrooms. Resurrection School was recognized as the School of the Month in the March 2009 issue of the Today’s Catholic Teacher Magazine for our outreach efforts. The school was also recognized in the Sunnyvale Sun and the Valley Catholic for our outreach efforts.
