Dear Friends,
This fall, the Identity-run Wellness Centers at Gaithersburg and Watkins Mill High Schools opened two study bubbles for 30 struggling students, and they have become one of the bright lights in an otherwise grim school year during the pandemic. Will you help keep it going?
Every gift makes a difference. ([link removed])

In partnership with the City of Gaithersburg, the first bubble opened in the fall at the Bohrer Park Activity Center with just 6 teens willing to give it a try. Word traveled, and soon it filled to capacity with teens who had serious barriers to success with virtual learning from home. A second location is open at Casey Community Center. In addition to providing a connected learning station for each student, Identity staff are creating a community of excitement, inspiration and accountability. Students say they are thriving with a regular schedule as they build bonds with each other and really connect to their classes. Plus, they are engaged in enrichment activities like painting, outdoor recreation and volunteerism. Most of all, these bubbles bring an incredibly diverse group of young people out of isolation and create a supportive learning community. Will you help them continue to thrive this school year?

Study bubble students help distribute holiday gifts to area families, including one student who volunteered to dress up as a friendly bear for littlest family members.
