Make Haste Not Waste


Last Sunday, a group of 12 students joined Ms. Gall and Mr. Kaplan at the Kenilworth Aquatic Garden for a day service. Braving the damp weather and early morning wake up call, the group traveled together over to the park to join in o the JCC's Spring Into Action Day of Service. Students spent the morning cleaning up garbage along the Anacostia River Bank. A few students even jumped into kayaks and canoes so that they could grab the harder-to-reach waste. One student summed up her experience quite eloquently: "I was disgusted at the amount of garbage but feel inspired to try to change it." Stay tuned for upcoming service trips and future opportunities to create change.
