On Monday, January 20, students, parents, and faculty of the Calvert community used the day off from school/work to gather for a morning of service in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Those who arrived early spent some time designing and writing cards to our troops.
We were lucky to have storyteller
Ssuuna as our guest this morning. In his interactive program, Ssuuna opened a window to
African culture through dance, music, and storytelling. We all really enjoyed the performance!
Next, volunteers headed off to their various activities. Mr. Gruber (9-2) and I ran the BINGO activity. We welcomed guests from Gallagher Services, a residential facility for adults with developmental disabilities, and we had a full house. Students and parents sat side by side with our guests and assisted them in several rousing games of BINGO, with prizes for all!
We look forward to doing it again next year. We hope you can join us!
