Students at the Ely Chapman Education Foundation learned the importance of giving back to their community through the creation of a sock tree, which was then donated to the homeless drop-in center on Front Street in Marietta.
Through a partnership Ely Chapman has with The Right Path for Washington County, which promotes other services such as referrals for families who seek information on drug and alcohol abuse prevention, the students in the SUNSHINE Learning Station after school program take in the value of community service and caring for others.

MARIETTA When Ely Chapman Educational Foundation founder Alice Chapman died Dec. 30 of COVID-19, the immediate future of the school was uncertain.
A little more than a month later, a new director was hired to continue Chapman’s vision.
“Lori Ullmann is the executive director now and is getting her feet on the ground,” said Hunt Brawley, president of the foundation’s board of directors. “We’re excited. She’s hit the ground running, and we’re very encouraged.”
Ullmann said she chose to take on the challenge of leading the school because it fit with her philosophy personally to get kids the education they need.
