Each year, Communities In Schools of Puyallup coordinates a series of service projects known as March Gladness, a district-wide community service initiative. Students from all [NUMBER] schools in the Puyallup School District take the lead in creating and carrying out projects that benefit local, national, and global causes.
By giving students the opportunity to give back, March Gladness not only strengthens our community, but also builds confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of purpose in each student who participates.
In 2022, 10,258+ student volunteers contributed 481 hours, raised $5,365, and collected 40,758 items for causes like relief for Ukraine, food bank support, and supporting other students locally. The opportunity to get involved in meaningful community service is one of the most transformative experiences a student can have. March Gladness is an opportunity for students to learn more about the values of service, connect to their community, and grow in a healthy, nurturing environment.
