Enter to learn, leave to serve. That motto is proudly inscribed on the tower of the school’s science, math and technology wing, and in the heart of our learning philosophy. This motto challenges our students to work for justice and put their faith into action in our local and larger community, and CB’s Oak Park location provides for meaningful, ongoing service to some of the community’s most vulnerable members.
Throughout the year, there are many opportunities for students to participate in community service. Students participating in community service-based clubs prepare and deliver meals to our neighbors at Wellspring Women’s Center, make blankets for child victims of abuse and neglect, write letters to deployed service members, make toys from upcycled materials for kids in need, send care packages to nursing homes, and visit local elementary schools to provide tutoring services.
The LSLO also sponsors regular opportunities to attend service events for all students. ongoing service projects include feeding the hungry, neighborhood clean-up, and helping the homeless. There are regular CB sponsored service opportunities including working at the Sacramento Food Bank, helping distribute food to those in need, participating in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament’s Brown Bag Lunch program on Tuesday mornings, and tutoring, mentoring and acting as buddies to children at the local elementary school on the Fourth Friday of each month.
