Outreach to Teach at Wakefield High School

Outreach To Teach saw 350 volunteers... retired teachers and college education students... descending on Wakefield High School in Arlington . Why Wakefield, and not a public school in D.C. that's in dire need of help? Because the event is put on by the NEA not the AFT...whose territory is D.C.

Anyway, still a great project. Wakefield is an old school...the only high school in Arlington that hasn't had a major renovation. The volunteers painted, planted, hammered and stapled.
