Barnesville Students Support Dwelling Place

Families from Barnesville School of Arts & Sciences donated holiday gifts for families served by The Dwelling Place. Students and their families donated gifts for 11 families (39 people) in need. Student Council members helped sort and organize the packages for delivery to The Dwelling Place, which supports homeless families in Montgomery County, Maryland by providing housing, education, financial and life skills, and career enhancement.

Community service is an integral part of a Barnesville education, articulated in the School's philosophy statement. Students develop social responsibility and values from involvement in community service programs and through a curriculum where adults model and reinforce those values in school, the broader community, and the world. Barnesville students and faculty participate in both grade-specific and school-wide community service efforts each year.
