At the Elementary level the community service efforts are conducted via the Student Council (STUCO). Each year two elementary projects are identified that the elementary school as a whole work on: one in-school project (something they can do to improve ANS) and one outside-of-school project (something to improve the community at large). The Elementary STUCO is responsible for providing the leadership for these community service efforts by organizing activities and creating awareness among the elementary student body of the importance of community service. This year the Elementary STUCO’s in-school project is the recycling of paper at ANS, and its community project involves coordinating activities that benefit “Los Ladinos”, a disadvantaged neighborhood school. This neighborhood school been visited several times by our students and STUCO sponsors. The needs of the school and its students have been identified and efforts are underway to provide instructional materials, school supplies, clothing, etc. Currently the ANS Elementary STUCO is planning a Thanksgiving lunch with “Los Ladinos” students, and a shoe drive as many of these students are at times unable to attend school because they have no shoes.
