Today, we held our first-ever Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. It was an outstanding day; over 250 members of the Calvert community attended! The day began in the Middle School Atrium with inspiring speeches about Dr. King, service, and Calvert by Dr. Jannette Dates, Dean of the School of Communications at Howard University, and Dr. Kaye Whitehead, Assistant Professor of Communications at Loyola University Maryland. After the opening session, participants dispersed to a variety of locations both on and off campus to complete a range of service projects, including making scarves, casseroles, and cards, and painting a back-drop for a Lower School class play. The sense of community was palpable throughout the day.
Many thanks to Mrs. Babb, Mr. Skeen, Mrs. Williams, the Outreach Committee, and the Day of Service Committee for their hard work in making today a huge success!
