Spelman College junior Sydney Shaw may not be a Dunbar Elementary School parent, but she holds the school near and dear as a volunteer. “I’ve seen how much it really enriches the students and has kind of provided safe haven for us as AUC students but also the students at Dunbar to see college representation,” Shaw said. “For a lot of those children, they’ve known each other forever, so they’re kind of like a family with each other. Closing down the school kind of breaks apart that family,” said Morgan Simpson, Spelman College student.
