Community Service

December 8, 2023 | Media

Cistercian’s Community Service Council was this week visited by Brandt Urban, an employee of Howdy Homemade. He came to witness to his Christian faith and to help the council strategize for Cistercian’s “Down Syndrome Guild Dance” on Saturday, January 13. He spoke about his experience as a man with Down syndrome and what he thinks the council can do to provide an AWESOME experience at the dance. Cistercian guys and their friends at sister schools should check Friday Notes to learn how to register to volunteer at the dance!

Students in Forms VI and VII packed clean water supplies, including water bottles and iodine tablets, along with hygiene products such as soap and hand sanitizer, to be sent to communities around the world where access to clean water is limited.

MLK Day of Service

Our Upper School students, faculty, and staff served across Dallas County for our MLK Day of Service.
