Child First/City Springs Door Knocking Day

Child First Community School Coordinator of City Springs Elementary/Middle School, Simone Garrison, organized an inspiring door knocking event on August 15th, 2013. The City Springs attendance team, along with the help of network staff and Child First community school coordinators and organizers, knocked on over four hundred doors.

They handed out packets of information on back to school dates and Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake's "Back to School Rally" this Saturday. In addition, the team was able to provide the community with resources to a variety of services including housing, food, health, mental health and more. It is the team's goal to continue community outreach through door knocking events as the year progresses

We would like to thank the Baltimore Metropolitan Chapter of the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA) for holding a school supply drive for Baltimore Curriculum Project students at their annual cookout in July. NABA donated hundreds of dollars worth of pens, pencils, notebooks, calculators, and more for our students at City Springs Elementary/Middle School, Hampstead Hill Academy and Wolfe Street Academy. BCP Board Member Ryan Galloway is President of the Baltimore Metropolitan Chapter of NABA.
