Philanthropy Matters At Stepping Stone School!

Our Young Entrepreneurs and Philanthropists™ program has successfully increased the amount of funds raised each year by our school age children, while also teaching them the valuable lessons of kindness, caring, gratitude and giving to others.

Philanthropy is a core component of the Stepping Stone School curriculum and teaches our students the importance of giving back to their communities.

To date, Stepping Stone School and our school age student leaders have donated over $100,000 to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Texas and Scottie’s House in College Station.

Big hearts. Big ideas. Big impact. 💚

The students at Stepping Stone School Teravista have published their latest book, a heartwarming guide to friendship, written and illustrated entirely by the children themselves.

At Stepping Stone, we believe children have important things to say, and this quarterly book program gives them the platform to say it. Each book is just $5, and 100% of proceeds are donated to charity.
