Community resource center opens in Sandtown school with high hopes

Sharon Norris has lived in the Sandtown-Winchester area for the past 40 years. She remembers the former funeral home owner and neighbor activist for whom the George G. Kelson Elementary/Middle School is named.

“I?ve seen this how this community has changed over the years,” Norris said Tuesday at the opening of a community resource center in the school library. “And it hasn?t changed for the better. Schools have closed and people have moved out to the county and everything has spread out.”
