Before you run to the grocery store for pre-snowstorm essentials (and yes, it’s ok to count a box of donuts as an “essential” – we won’t tell.), don’t forget to take a look at what some of our wonderful nonprofits have been up to this week. And why you’re home tomorrow, why not curl up with your favorite blanket, and consider making a donation or exploring volunteer opportunities with some of our charities. Warm up on a cold day by giving back to the community!

7 Questions with Sister Mary Bourdon, Head of School of Washington School for Girls
“While there was a large national discussion about the school-to-prison pipeline and the challenges facing African-American boys, there was little conversation about the girls. We kept thinking to ourselves, what about the girls?”
In honor of Black History Month, we welcome Sister Mary Bourdon, Head of School at Washington School for Girls. Washington School for Girls offers a solid and holistic education in the Catholic educational tradition, featuring intellectual challenge, respect for diversity, and support for the spiritual, social and emotional growth of each student.
