On December 7, 2022, at the invitation of Shelyn Elementary School of Rowland Unified School District, the Tzu Chi Education team brought a fun-filled environmental education class to the school.

In October 2022, Tzu Chi Elementary School, Walnut, California, and Tzu Chi Life Science Farm collaborated to teach students the Tzu Chi philosophy of “Knowing, Cherishing, and then Creating Blessings” by combining character education and organic farming.

Tzu Chi Elementary School in Walnut, California, organized a clothes recycling drive from October 10 to 21, 2022. Everyone, from teachers, parents, and students, did their best to cooperate, with 109 people participating. In the spirit of “cherishing things and blessings,” families donated their unwanted clothes and shoes to give them a second life when people in need in the community received them. The drive seamlessly combined charity with environmental protection through recycling second-hand yet still valuable goods. A total of 250 bags of donated clothing were collected and delivered to a charity distribution site.

Because of the pandemic’s impact, most public school districts in Los Angeles County arrange for parents to attend online “start of the semester” briefings. However, after careful consideration, Tzu Chi educators offered a “Back to School Night” in person to reassure parents of their many school safety measures and precautions.
