COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT UPDATE

The spring semester and warmer temperatures brought a multitude of community engagement opportunities for the Pace community. Activities included clothing collection drives for The Bloom Closet, cleanup projects on the Atlanta BeltLine, and fundraisers for Grady Hospital and Habitat for Humanity. Pace students, parents, faculty and staff donated calculators and school supplies, created inspirational videos for hospital patients and nursing home residents, and walked, ran and biked to support important causes. l

VeloCity fundraiser for Grady Hospital

Teams of Middle School students put their creative juices to work to benefit Meals On Wheels Atlanta during their annual Canstruction event. Students worked throughout the Garcia Family Middle School to build elaborate, themed structures out of cans, boxes and bags of food and, following the competition, donated more than 6,750 pounds of food to Meals On Wheels Atlanta’s pantries.

In March, the Upper School Community Engagement Board launched Engage Pace, a week of student-led events in support of local nonprofit organizations and Pace partners. Engage Pace included COVID-safe opportunities for students, families, faculty and staff.
