Service Learning

Service to family and community is a vital component of the K-8 Ashbrook Independent School curriculum.

Students participate in projects both by grade level and based on student and teacher interests. Past projects have included an “essential needs” drive for toiletries and cleaning items for Community Outreach, penny drives for disaster victims, outreach programs to bring crafts and music to local assisted living communities, and many more.
