Thank you to the everyone who participated in the exciting makeover of 6 DC Public Schools on Martin Luther King, Jr Day!!

A big thank you to all who participated in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday of Service 2009. It was a huge success!

• Over 550 volunteers joined us in our efforts at six DC Public Schools;
• We painted hallways, classrooms, kitchens and bathrooms;
• We unpacked donated books and organized them in a library so elementary school children have many new books to read;
• We welcomed 'celebrities' like Mayor Fenty, Usher, and Toby Maguire to our projects; and
• We had a great time doing it!

Thanks again to Target for sponsoring the event and helping to make it great.

We are looking forward to seeing you again this year!
