Spearheaded by the Kindergarten class, Geneva Day School students and families collected 315 new children’s books to be donated to Stepping Stones Shelter in Rockville, more than tripling their goal of 100 books. While philanthropy is a part of Geneva Day School’s culture, this year the school decided to have each class lead a specific fundraising effort. Geneva’s young students (ages 2 through Kindergarten) learned about giving to others in need as well as math skills such as counting, sorting, and graphing. The Geneva Kindergarten team Ann Hepburn, Debra Lieberman and Jane Mondonedo will be delivering the books to help ensure a brighter holiday for the children at Stepping Stones Shelter.
Geneva Day School, located in Potomac, has been providing preschool and kindergarten programs for area children for over 50 years. See www.genevadayschool.org
