Gratitude. Service. Community. Over two days, members of the Country School and Horizons community came together to honor the legacy of Kyle A. Markes through acts of service, kindness, and connection. A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful co-chairs—Kate Roomet and Taryn Laében—for their leadership and care in organizing this special event. We were also honored to have Kyle’s mother, Jackqueline McLean-Markes, with us as we carried forward Kyle’s spirit through meaningful work and joyful community. Thank you to all the volunteers of every age who gave their time and heart. #kamdayofservice #nccscommunity @filling_blanks (fb)
