Seniors Kara Rickford, Katie Mongoven, Laura Marquez, Michelle David, and Emily Hallewell and junior Pooja Duleep take the short metro ride to Tenleytown to volunteer their time and talents at Janney Elementary School. These gators spend the day photocopying, cutting papers, and playing with the cute kids grades one to five. The warm atmosphere and well maintained campus welcome the Stone Ridge volunteers every other Wednesday to help out in any way they can. For Rickford (‘13) this means photocopying, laminating, and then carefully cutting out individual worksheets for her students.
On her last day, Rickford also spoke of how much she will miss coming to the quaint DC public school, and that she definitely plans on continuing her involvement in volunteerism long after she leaves the doors of Stone Ridge. Needless to say, the Janney staff and students are extremely grateful for the gator volunteers, almost to the same level that the Stone Ridge girls enjoy coming.
