Vienna — As part of a Service Learning Project, the senior class at James Madison HS spent part of the school day supporting multiple local organizations. With grant funding from Walmart, sandwiches for Martha’s Table, a homeless shelter in D.C. were made and individually packaged. Using t-shirts donated by the school’s faculty and staff, students made dog toys for the Humane Society of Fairfax County. Jill’s House is an organization that provides respite for several of Madison students with special needs and part of this service project was to make craft kits to be donated to Jill’s House. An additional component of the project focused on members of the senior class writing letters to residents at The Sunrise Assisted Living home in Vienna. The work done was a part of the school’s mission of one school, one community, one world.
