Gunston Students Help the Homeless Walk

November 19, 2011

For the 8th year, Ms. Meyers took a group of Gunston students to participate in the DC Homeless Walk. Afterwards, students went to the National Gallery of Art icing skating rink; many of them ice skating for the first time. Way to go Gunston!

Why do we walk?

On any given night in America over 750,000 people are homeless
1.35 million children experience homelessness in the US each year
Over five million low-income households have serious housing problem due to high rent and substandard conditions
Even here in Arlington we have hundreds of people living on the street each night.

This is why Gunston is taking a stand. We say no to Homelessness and yes to doing something about it! Over the past five years we have raised over $6000 dollars to fight homelessness right here in Arlington.

Thank you for your support and commitment to this important issue!
