*MLK Service Day is this Monday—Food and Toiletry Items Still Needed!*

Dear Friends,

We are honored and humbled by the outpouring of support for MLK Service Day
and would like to thank all of those who have volunteered to attend or to
donate supplies. To ensure the success of this event, however, we need to
make sure that we have enough supplies for our hardworking volunteers. We
are still in need of both food and toiletry donations for each of the
service activities. *Please take a moment to sign up to donate any of
these items by clicking the *MLK Service Day Sign Up
<http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e084da4ae28a0f49-sfsmlk/939945>. We
just ask that you *drop off these items in the boxes outside of the Dean of
Students’ Office in the Upper School or the Front Desk in the Middle School
by Friday, January 14. *

Please also sign up to volunteer for one of the service activities if you
know that you will be attending. While we welcome last-minute attendees,
we are trying to get a general idea of the number of volunteers so that we
can adjust the quantities of supplies as needed.

As a reminder, we will gather from 9:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Monday, January
18, in the Robert L. Smith Meeting Room. Following a brief query-centered
discussion with a panel of alumni speakers, SFS volunteers will choose to
participate in one of the available service events: (1) *Bake Casseroles*
for *Central Union Mission* in the Upper School Dining Room 2) *Work with
the Boys and Girls Club* at American University to make cards and toiletry
packets for *Veterans,* or (3) *Create Healthy Snack Bags*for *N Street
Village Day Center* in the Upper School Dining Room. Afterward, we will
regroup for a short time of reflection in the Meeting Room before closing
with a moment of silence.

Thank you again for all of your support.
All the Best,

Georgine Newman-Alawode
