The Seeing Eye Service Initiative

This spring, Fourth graders led our longstanding school-wide service initiative in support of The Seeing Eye Foundation, an organization that breeds, raises, and trains Seeing Eye dogs to help guide blind people - with the goal to help them move around as safely and independently as possible.

After becoming more familiar with the goals and work of the foundation, our boys participated in a Read-A-Thon. The boys recorded the total number of pages they read both in and outside of school each day, raising money by asking family and friends for "Pledge per Page" or "Set Donation" contributions. They also visited other Saint David's homerooms during the fundraiser to collect spare change or donations.

On Thursday, May 28, 2026 during the fourth graders’ culminating field trip to visit the Seeing Eye Foundation in Morristown, New Jersey, the boys formally presented their total donation (in excess of $13,000). Because of the great work Saint David's boys have contributed over 21 years, “The Seeing Eye” featured an article in their own publication about our partnership in 2025.

From their earliest years, our boys are taught to look beyond themselves and to act with purpose in the service of others.
