Clubs at CU include a chess club, book club, garden club and service clubs such as our Kids Kindness Club. Adult sponsors oversee all club
meetings, off-campus events and community outreach activities.
CU's Kids Kindness Club helps students experience the joy of
giving. As their lives touch other lives – through their relationships with teachers, friends and classmates – students learn good citizenship, gain
self-esteem and develop a sense of belonging in the world. Adult sponsors attend all outreach activities with the children. Here is a list of outreach events for the 2008/2009 school year. |

Race For the Cure, an event to raise awareness to breast cancer, is supported by Children’s University. The
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is the world’s largest
series of 5K runs/fitness events and is now held in more than 100 U.S. cities and several foreign countries.
Town Hall Estates Nursing Home
Each month a Children’s University class visits this
retirement center as part of an ongoing outreach project.
Children help decorate the center as well as provide
music, entertainment, gifts, love and friendship.
In October, the administration and students invite
residents of the retirement home to Children’s University
for an afternoon of love, friendship and kindness.
Learn more about the latest event.
School Supply Drive In September, CU students
collect school supplies to donate to underprivileged

Susan G. Komen Foundation Students collect donations
to assist in finding a cure to cancer in October. In 2008, CU students held
a pajama party and collected $1,700 for the cause.
Mission Arlington Each November, students collect "turkey
bucks" (or dollars) to buy turkeys for Mission Arlington. Last year, the
Kindness Club donated 40 turkeys and hopes to beat that number this
year. Sixty of our students will go to Mission Arlington to separate
canned goods and stuff Thanksgiving baskets.
Toys for Tots Toy Drive In December, students collect toys to
give to children in need throughout the community. Last year, a Marine
Corps Representative came to school to collect the 300-plus toys our
students collected. |
