On Saturday, Circle of Hope leaders gathered with neighbors and friends at GW Childs Elementary to love on our schools and the children they serve. We began with a Seminar where Shanee Garner, Policy Director for Public Citizens for Children and Youth, led us to consider the state of education in the region and how we can advocate for change in our spheres of influence. After the seminar over 50 people helped to spruce up the school with various projects like this beautiful tree mural. They were led by Megan Rosenbach, leader of our compassion team that has 'adopted' the school, and the neighborhood association she founded to support it (Neighbors Investing in Child's Elementary). City Councilman Kenyatta Johnson, an alumni of GW Childs, was so impressed by the love being poured out on the neighborhood that he showed up to pitch in!
