Schools across the City mobilized to carry out student-led community projects, embracing the initiative as a springboard to beautify campuses, show appreciation, foster wellness, and support local families in need. From environmental engineering builds to neighborhood clothing and food drives, the day showcased the leadership, pride, and generosity thriving within Baltimore’s school communities.
Some highlights from the district:

Booker T. Washington
Sixth-grade Digital Citizenship students at Booker T. Washington Middle School, alongside Ms. Rosales, put their lessons into practice during the Baltimore Ravens Caw to Action Day of Service.

Graceland Park/O’Donnell Heights
Staff and students at Graceland Park/O'Donnell Heights Elementary/Middle School participated in the "5K Your Way" initiative. The school community showcased its Purple Pride, teamwork, and school spirit by walking, running, and rolling together to promote health and community connection.
