The Caring Kids Club aims to inspire and empower students to take an active role in helping others, promoting kindness, and developing a lifelong commitment to service. We believe that every child has the potential to make a difference, and through our club activities, we aim to nurture this potential and guide our members in becoming compassionate and responsible citizens.

Congress Park Garden Group members come together to learn about plants, nature, and the environment while taking part in hands-on gardening activities. Its goal is to foster a love for nature, encourage teamwork, and provide a space for students to connect with the earth in a fun, educational setting. It also helps students develop a sense of responsibility, as they care for living things and see the results of their hard work. Overall, the garden club provides a hands-on, interactive learning experience that enhances students' understanding of science, biology, and environmental stewardship.
