Julius West, Rosa Parks students raise money for school in Zambia
School Notes | Melissa J. Brachfeld
As part of their study of Africa during the second quarter, seventh grade social studies students at Julius West Middle School in Rockville took advantage of an opportunity to help their teacher's former student.
Sarah Blackwell, a former student of seventh grade social studies teacher Nadereh Zolghadr, is a Peace Corps volunteer in the village of Maloba in Zambia. When students learned that Blackwell was involved in a project to build a four-room school in Maloba so that students would not have to walk the seven kilometers to the nearest school, they raised more than $2,000.
The Student Government Association of Rosa Parks Middle also raised money to support the project since Zolghadr met Blackwell when she was a student at the Olney school.
