Teams of Loudoun County Public Schools teachers, counselors, social workers, and principals from Newton-Lee and Sugarland Elementary schools came together to kick off their work with First 10.

Over the course of 9 days, the students investigated the wide variety of health and medical careers and heard firsthand accounts from healthcare professionals.

BEAM is back! ♾️
Loudoun County Public Schools' Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics program begins next week, serving 180 seventh- and eighth-grade students.
Four years ago, LEF helped bring on funding partners, such as The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation, to launch BEAM in Loudoun County.
Now, it's an annual summer program that equips middle school students to excel in advanced mathematics.
Teens from P.A.S.T.A (Peers and Students Taking Action) exemplified their passion for service and dedication to developing leadership skills when they worked to collect and donate over 660 pounds of non-perishables and $450 to support food security for their peers at Loudoun County Public Schools!
Fueled is thrilled to highlight this local student-run nonprofit led by the simple mission of “kids helping kids in the community.”
Thank you so much, P.A.S.T.A., for ensuring a plentiful in-school pantry distribution, and stocked to respond to summer support requests! 🙌
This sets us up for success at the start of the next school year.
Can we come to your next anniversary banquet? We heard something about ‘delicious pasta and a candy bar’ 😉
