Green Sea Floyds Elementary School was a stopping point for Sunday’s Breakaway to the Beach cycling event, hosted by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Cyclists were able to eat and rest at the school before continuing on their journey, courtesy of about 60 volunteers – students, parents and teachers – who joined community members from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. in helping with everything from set up and clean up, to meal preparation and distribution. School counselor Hanna Smith said this event is one of multiple opportunities for service learning that the school is giving students this year.
