Service Learning

Kindergarten students perform random acts of kindness on campus, such as leaving notes for staff, faculty, their 5th and 8th grade Buddy Bears. 

First Grade students lead the charge to collect new pairs of socks for a local homeless shelter. Along with this #1 requested item, first grade students will include a homemade card with each pair of socks donated.

Second grade students will visit all homerooms on September 26 to discuss the food drive, deliver collection boxes, and lead a conversation about all students at MTS supporting our school-wide efforts.

Third Grade students encourage all classmates at MTS to save and bring in all used markers for  recycling and ship them directly to Crayola. 

Fourth Grade students collect gently used coats and write pocket notes so that each recipient finds a positive message with their donated coat.

Fifth Grade students lead a pet supply drive, including making pet toys with a class field trip to the Marin Humane Society to deliver handmade toys.

Sixth graders participate in a fall pen pal program, writing letters to the seniors at the Redwoods. Sixth graders plan and facilitate a party to meet their seniors at the Redwoods in April.

In years past, seventh graders collected halloween candy and encouraged all MTS students to write holiday cards to the troops.

Eighth graders plan their own day of service in June.
