Moving Together for Children at St. Jude

Our Child's World School Encino community came together for our Saint Jude's Trike-a-thon. Children joined in by riding trikes and scooters, moving alongside their classmates. All proceeds from the event went directly to St. Jude to help children who were hospitalized.

For young children, a big idea like helping others is easier to understand when they can connect it to something they do.

The trike-a-thon also gave children opportunities to practice skills that are part of whole-child learning. As they rode and moved together, they took turns, participated as a group, and encouraged their friends. These everyday actions help children learn what it means to be part of a caring community.

Families can continue the conversation at home by talking about why the children participated and how people can work together to help others. Even at a young age, children can begin to understand that their actions matter.

We're grateful to everyone who supported our Saint Jude's Trike-a-thon and helped make the event possible. It was a joyful day of movement, community, and care for children at St. Jude.
