Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service
In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the Calvert School community is partnering with the non-profit organization Rise Against Hunger to package meals for families facing food shortages on Monday, January 20. Click here to learn more.
Calvert families are invited to join us on campus for an all-school meal-packing event. Our goal is to come together as a community to package 30,000 meals of rice and soy.
Volunteers are needed to work in every stage of packing, including funneling grains into packages, weighing food packages, sealing packages, and boxing them up for delivery through Rise Against Hunger.
We will organize most of our volunteers into two shifts, and each shift will begin with coffee and donuts followed by a brief orientation and packaging tutorial:
- Volunteers for Shift 1 are asked to arrive to the Middle School Atrium at 9:00 A.M. (Packing will begin promptly at 9:30 A.M. and end at 10:30 A.M.)
- Volunteers for Shift 2 are asked to arrive to the Middle School Atrium at 10:00 A.M. (Packing will begin promptly at 10:30 A.M. and end at 11:30 A.M.)
This form also includes the option to register for the "Sticker Squad," a small group that will focus on sticking labels to each of the meal bags ahead of filling, though spots are limited.

Calvert School is a coed independent lower and middle school.
