Wrapping Up with Sandwich Day Gratitude

On Wednesday, students participated in Potomac’s final Sandwich Day of the school year, bookending our October kick-off to resume Potomac's 33-year Service Learning initiative. Each month, K-12 students took responsibility for learning about local food insecurity and achieving food equity in preparation for Sandwich Day. In total, LS, MS, IS, and US students prepared 8,056 sandwiches with respect for long-standing partners, Martha's Table and Cornerstones, to benefit community members in need. Each sandwich donation was packaged in compostable bags accomplishing our goal of creating a more environmentally sustainable Sandwich Day. Thank you to the support of our Potomac community for relaunching our school's long-standing tradition with renewed importance. A special thanks to PASLC leaders Gretchen Speigel and Tiffany Butler and parent volunteers in each division for spearheading logistics to count and deliver the K-12 sandwich donations.
