Service Learning Community Partnerships
What Guides potomac in developing community partnerships?
All Potomac students, from Kindergarten to grade 12, participate in foundational service learning experiences connected to four community needs: hunger, homelessness, and poverty; literacy; the elderly; and the environment. Grade-level initiatives in Kindergarten to grade 6 are led in the classroom and foundational initiatives in grades 7-12 are led in Advisory groups. Each grade-level experience connects our students with local community partners and is intended to provide a foundation for service for every student at Potomac. Potomac works with partners that utilize an equity frame in their work.
WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO
Chesterbrook Residences has created a caring assisted living community by putting their residents first. Their vision is to provide assisted living in a community that honors older adults and provides a nurturing, secure, stimulating, family-like environment that fosters aging with dignity.
In 2007, three faith communities came together with a common goal to build a home for older persons of all financial means that feels like home; offers personal choice; provides a wide range of high-quality assisted living care and services; is located convenient to loved ones, friends, and familiar places; and offers an enriching environment for residents to thrive.
