Students Green Neighborhood

On Sat., July 24, middle school students at the Alternative Learning Center are planting a garden and painting a mural to make the Gwynn Oak neighborhood a better place to live, work and play. The project came after months of a clasroom investigation of abandoned lots in Baltimore. Open to the public, the community event offered free food, arts and crafts and information about the neighborhood; it took place from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Gwynn Oak United Methodist Church—and the abandoned lot behind it.

Stay tuned for photos and an article about the event.
