I spoke with the Principal at Scott Montgomery Elementary about what it means to the kids when the community comes out and works hard to improve the environment in and around the school. She told me it encourages them to work harder at their studies because it shows that a lot of people care about them and their success and makes them feel great.

This year's Servathon2008 sponsored by Greater DC Cares accomplished a lot with the help of many folks in the neighborhood and around the City.

When we work together, there are amazing things we can accomplish. A little elbow grease can really go a long way.
