Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most
persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'"

Monday, January 21, 2013 was Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a
day of celebration, reflection and service.
While the rest of the country was hard at work, ESYNOLA got in the
spirit with a huge Open Garden / Service Day at Arthur Ashe Charter School!
FirstLine staff and families joined us at Ashe planting trees, building beds,
and constructing outdoor furniture. ESY
Community Partners, including Up2Us: Coach Across America, City Year, Hands on
New Orleans, NOKP, and more hosted activities and offered support.

Volunteers dug holes, shoveled up sod, placed edging, and
yes… even danced The Wobble. By the
end, Ashe had a couple dozen new trees, four giant garden beds ready to be
planted, and four new tables with benches.

Thanks to our dedicated parents, great staff, and wonderful
community partners for helping make Arthur Ashe one of the best schools in New
Orleans.
