Culture Corner: Celebrating JTD’s Culture of Service

By Sigita Newsom
One of the defining threads in the fabric of JTD is our deeply rooted culture of community and service.
Across grade levels, students engage with social issues through read-alouds, field trips, and classroom
initiatives that build empathy and awareness. As a school community, we come together for annual
drives, like our Canned Food Drive, participate in Big Sunday events, and support individual family-led
efforts such as charity runs, bake sales, and other acts of generosity. Service isn't just something we do
—it's who we are.

This spring, we carried that spirit forward through our Spring into Kindness: Community Service Day.

This week, every JTD family in the Family Program took part in hands-on service projects designed to
give back and spread kindness. From potting flowers to brighten up classroom spaces, to writing
heartfelt thank you notes, our campus was buzzing with generosity, collaboration, and care.

Read on to learn more about each of the meaningful activities our students, faculty, and staff took part
in!
