Glen Burnie High School's Growing Gopher Preschool held a ribbon cutting for their beautiful new playground yesterday. Appreciation goes out to Ms. Roorda (the Early Childhood teacher who spearheaded the initiative), the GBHS Business Advisory Board, the students in the Early Childhood program and the GBHS administration for helping see that this project, 15 years in the making, finally came to fruition. The preschool now has a beautiful space for the current preschoolers and for the years to come. The playground has a new play structure, a rubberized surface, a wheeled vehicle path, a sandbox, a basketball area and picnic tables for outdoor learning and lunchtime. #AACPSFamily #BelongGrowSucceed

Exciting Partnerships & Internships at Arundel High School thanks to the Arundel Grooming Project! Arundel HS proudly offers new internship opportunities for its students through the Arundel Grooming Project. Thanks to the generous support of Rob's Barbershop Community Foundation for installing the onsite barber and beauty salon at the school. The primary goal of this project is to increase access to grooming services for students who face barriers to regular hair care. Arundel HS student, Jaiden Martin, is one of the licensed barbers providing expert haircuts to fellow students! This initiative is made possible through the tireless efforts of Zsavelle Smack, the school's Internship Coach, and several administrators. Their dedication has been instrumental in making this project a reality. A heartfelt thank you goes to our community donors: EHI & Walmart Foundations, Wahl Professional USA, and the Wegmans Crofton Store.
