Geneva Day School Collects 315 Children’s Books for Local Shelter

Geneva Day School tripled the original goal of 100 books for Stepping Stones Shelter in Rockville.

From Geneva Day School: Spearheaded by the Kindergarten class, Geneva Day School students and families collected 315 new children’s books to be donated to Stepping Stones Shelter in Rockville, more than tripling their goal of 100 books. While philanthropy has always been a part of Geneva Day School’s culture, this year, the School decided to have each class lead a specific fundraising effort. Doing so not only helps Geneva’s young students (ages two through Kindergarten) learn about giving to others in need, but also is another vehicle for teaching math skills such as counting, sorting, graphing and more. The Geneva Kindergarten team Ann Hepburn, Debra Lieberman and Jane Mondonedo will be delivering the books this week to help ensure a brighter holiday for the children at Stepping Stones Shelter.

Geneva Day School, located in Potomac, Maryland, just off I-270 and Montrose Road, has been providing engaging preschool and kindergarten programs for area children for over 50 years. Visit www.genevadayschool.org to learn more.
