Leah W. and Trinity V., students at The Phoenix Center for Innovative Learning and part of our Stafford Schools Jobs for Virginia Graduates program, delivered 10 backpacks filled with supplies to Rocky Run Elementary!
As part of a service learning project, Leah and Trinity organized a school supply drive to support rising kindergartners and 6th graders at local Title I schools for the 2025–2026 school year. With support from local businesses and our community, these students are making a meaningful impact—and gaining real-world work-based learning experience along the way.
Thank you, Rocky Run, for welcoming our Phoenix Center students and supporting their mission to serve others!
