Project Care
As the holidays approach, Reggio proudly continues one of our most meaningful traditions: Project Care. Over seven years, our community has adopted hundreds of children for the holiday season, and this year we are once again adopting 55 first graders in need.
Project Care is woven into our school's curriculum as an intentional learning experience for all of our children. Our students learn about giving, organizing, collecting, and wrapping gifts for peers in our community—a hands-on lesson in empathy, generosity, and caring for others. They watch their community come together to make their goals possible.
With the support of our families, teachers, alumni, and partners, each of the 55 children will receive a gift bag filled with a board game, an activity book, a new stuffed animal, snacks, an ornament, a sweatshirt, school supplies, and winter essentials. It’s a simple way to bring resources and childhood to children who may not have consistent access to them during winter break.
Thank you for being part of our 7th Annual Project Care and for helping us teach our students the true spirit of giving. Below are the ways you can support this year’s effort. Our team is grateful for your continued energy and heart—this project truly is the highlight of our year.

here's what you need to know:
Our school will be sponsoring a local school in Baltimore County to adopt 55 6-7 year olds to support *with our Reggio students* for the holidays.
The Baltimore County students will be extremely appreciative of any little item received- they are expecting nothing. Because of the connections we have to these children in need, we are very aware of some of the personal struggles of the children and the high needs they have-especially around the holiday season. We know the magic that is Project Care and the more we can do together now means the less children this young have to worry about over break. Our school wants to give these children not only basic means to support them over the holiday break, but the human right to childhood that our community gets the privilege to access together unconditionally.
With a total of 55 children in need, this means we need your help playing
magic-maker. A lot of it.

As the holiday season fills our lives with joyful gatherings, endless family dinners, unconditional gifts, and a mad dash to make all of the traditions happen, Reggio takes special pride in keeping our students grounded here at school as we dedicate our school’s curriculum to a truly intentional learning experience: Project Care
This annual initiative of learning about, organizing, collecting, and wrapping gifts for peers in our community—becomes such an impactful experience for our children, teaching empathy, generosity, and the power of giving without expecting anything in return. Year after year, our community witnesses our students grow in ways we couldn't imagine as they embrace the learning processes affiliated with Project Care.
