At My Little University, we believe in the importance of giving back to our community. Throughout the year, we support local organizations and participate in charitable donations and drives that make a positive impact. We encourage our families and staff to join us in these efforts, fostering a spirit of kindness, generosity, and community involvement.

Harvest Food Drive
Each Thanksgiving, we come together as a school community to collect nonperishable food items. These donations are shared with a local church food pantry to help support families in need during the holiday season. It’s a wonderful way for our students and families to experience the joy of giving and the importance of caring for our community.

HEART
the Arts Program (HEART) through our student art auction. Families can purchase their child’s individual art canvas and bid on classroom murals, with all proceeds benefiting HEART.

By participating, our school community helps bring healing, creativity, and hope to others globally.

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
Each year, we proudly support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through a special fundraising event with our students and families. Our little ones take part in a fun bike triathlon right in our parking lot, where they also learn about the importance of bike safety. Together with our families, we raise funds and donate 100% of the proceeds to St. Jude, helping to make a difference for children and families in need.

Supporting our First Responders
We are proud to support our local fire and police departments and regularly welcome them into our school.
