St. Andrew’s School’s “Blessing of the Backpacks”

These photos appeared on the St. Andrew’s School FaceBook page:

Today was our first Family Chapel of the year, over in the “Big Church” (St. Andrew’s Church) and the official “Blessing of the Backpacks”. Sweetest thing you’ve ever seen! We also love our new school chaplain, Mrs. Davis. We’re so glad you’re here with us. And thank you to all the families who were able to make it!

1 Day. 1000 Volunteers. People at the Center of Change.

Imagine how much better Richmond could be if we all spent just 4 hours doing something together for the community. Join one thousand other volunteers across the metro region this October at nearly 60 sites to make a difference in Richmond on one of many organized volunteer opportunities.

There is at least one project in the neighborhood, at the William Byrd Community House, called Growing Our Yard.
