On September 11, staff from our DC office—Jim Healy, Eric Bailey, Shellie Byrum, Meghan Snyder, Megan Cotton, and  Jennifer Dusenberry—volunteered at Burrville Elementary School during an annual 9/11 Day of Service event. We partnered with HandsOn Greater DC Cares, the event organizer, and served as a way to honor those touched by the 9/11 attacks.

Below are pictures from our work. We rolled up our sleeves and got our hands dirty both inside and out of the school. On the inside, we organized classrooms and sanitized play areas. On the outside, we raked leaves, removed trash from school grounds, and wiped down the playground area. By the end of the day, we created a refreshed, clean learning environment for students that attend the elementary school.
