When Broad Street Elementary School was preparing to open this school year, its library was filled with books as a result of community donations.
Inspired Hearts and Hands donated boxes of food for Easter that were available for all students at Emily Brittain Elementary School last year.
Parents and other volunteers helped plant greens and produce at Summit Township Elementary School when it received a Moonshot Grant to install gardening materials last fall.

Emily Brittain is a community demonstration school, Broad Street is a community-centered school and Summit is a community agricultural partnership school.
