Meet in person for snacks and activities in the Athletics Center at 10:30 AM

Our original event date was cancelled due to snowy weather, but our new makeup date is on the books for Sunday, February 23! Sandy Spring Friends School joins the nation in service and reflection to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We are planning a number of in-person service projects and hope you’ll join us!

Each year, on the third Monday in January, Sandy Spring Friends School joins the nation in service and reflection to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We will host a conversation about social justice featuring a guest speaker from Shepherd's Table and various service projects tailored to a range of comfort levels and availability, from in-person, hands-on activities to donation drop-offs. Collection opportunities will run before and after Monday’s Day of Service to provide opportunities for families who are not able to be on-campus on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to contribute. 

To volunteer or ask questions, please reach out to the MLK Day of Service Co-Clerks,  Hilary PhillipsKate Lawrence, and Yvonne Prutzman

Let us know you’re coming! We’ll be assembling casseroles, making cards and blankets, and putting together toiletry kits. Note that Upper School students can receive service learning hours for their participation throughout the day!
