- Highbridge Green School in the South Bronx hosted a huge effort in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Monday, organized by the nonprofit City Year New York.
In every corner of the corridors, classrooms and cafeteria, new friends could be found organizing books and supplies, building new furniture and beautifying the building's walls with art. "I did this right out of college," said volunteer Kamero Neblett,"and I was just like I want to stay in education, so now I'm an assistant principal of a middle school."
"To have other kids walk in the school and look at the paintings and be like, oh, someone really cared about us and came to the school and actually painted the school for us, they can enjoy the beautiful school that we did," said 11-year-old volunteer Alannah Desert.
