We had an amazing time volunteering with Chicago Cares at Serve-a-thon!
Â
Check out the video for a quick rundown of the event and view the pictures below to see what we did this year!
Gathering at Bennett Elementary School in the morning to go over the day’s activities.
Making team benches for the school gymnasium.
Painting inspirational wall murals in the main hallway.
Creating a world map on the playground blacktop.

In addition to the activities pictured above, our site painted 8 classrooms and made a welcome sign mosaic for the school entrance. After the day was over, it was really cool to see all the colorful changes throughout  the school. Then we hopped on buses to meet the other 5,000 volunteers downtown at Daley Plaza to review and celebrate. What a great day!
