One Brick in DC

One Brick Gets the Ball Rolling at a Local Elementary School

A few weeks ago ten hard-working One Brick volunteers made their way out to Rolling Terrace Elementary School to help transform a neglected courtyard into a beautiful, green, and inviting place for students to enjoy.

Their tasks for the day included digging a pond, moving rocks into place, and hauling mulch and compost, to name a few. The One Brick team was so motivated about the project that the school’s parents took notice and wanted to get in on the action!

As great as the photos are for volunteers to remember the day, what you don’t know is the power they’ve had in spreading the word about the project. I’ve had multiple parents see the pictures and get excited about volunteering themselves. Thank you so much for adding much needed energy and momentum to the courtyard project. I’d love to set up a standing volunteer day for One Brick at Rolling Terrace. Lord knows we need the help, and you guys are such an inspiration to the kids and the whole community!

Thanks,
Alison
