IB Learner Profile - Caring:

• We show empathy, compassion and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us.
• During the months of November and December, advisories have been exploring this IB learner characteristic through our End Hunger Drive, Veteran's Day activities, and this week through an advisory service activity.
• December 2 and 3 Students will have the opportunity to make “no sew blankets” for the Calvert Foster Care Closet, Project Echo and holiday cards for the Calvert Nursing Home during their Club time.
• Giving Tuesday Challenge is happening now! Please click here to see how you can support The Calverton School!
