At Shalom Presidency School we believe in teaching our children the importance of community and the roles that various individuals play in making our neighborhoods safe, healthy, and happy.
Understanding the roles of community helpers helps children:

- Learn about different careers and the tools and skills required for each.
- Recognize the importance of helping others and contributing to society.
