Volunteer Appreciation Dinner at MLWGS, April 20 @ 5:30 pm

Students helping in a classroom. Caption reads life would be boring without service

Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School will host its annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on Thursday, April 20th at 5:30 pm in the ‘Commons’ to celebrate the efforts of our volunteers this past year at countless events and activities benefiting the students and school. The selfless efforts of our volunteers breathe life into many of the programs offered at MLWGS.

“One of the things that really helps keep Maggie Walker running is the effort of our parent and community volunteers,” said Bob Lowerre, Director.  “Our volunteers allow us to offer extra opportunities for our students that would simply not be available without their help and support.  On behalf of the entire Maggie Walker community, I offer our heartfelt thanks for all that you do!”

A special thank you goes to Ms. Valenta Williams and Ms. Ginger O’Neil of the MLWGS Foundation for coordination and sponsorship of this dinner and the invitation lists. The MLWGS Foundation sent out invitations to our volunteers, including to those who serve the PTSA, the GS Foundation, the booster groups, School Advisory Council, classroom instruction, athletics, and more.

Our volunteers make us proud and remind us that community spirit, optimism, and a can-do attitude is a model for all.

    AY27 Snapshot #10: Staying curious

    Last year, I remember thinking that Homecoming Week at MLWGS was unlike anything I had experienced before. Between powderpuff games, home athletic events, and our lip sync battles, which really are next level, there is no shortage of school spirit! This year has been no different, and on Wednesday, I saw more wigs than I…
