Day of Service: Teaching Students to Become Good Stewards of the Earth

By Colleen Healy

The McLean School of Potomac held its first annual school-wide Day of Service on Tuesday, April 11. The school partnered with Charity Connect, a Potomac-based nonprofit that matches volunteers with nonprofits. The day included 400 students and 50 staff volunteering at 11 organizations. In total, they provided 1,600 hours of community service — in one day. All grades, K-12, went off campus to participate in service activities geared toward teaching students to become good stewards of the earth. . . . .
