Service members are painting, gardening, arranging school furniture and much more this week as part of this year’s “Servicing Our Schools.”
More than 425 military members from various commands from Naval Support Activity (NSA) Hampton Roads are helping 25 elementary, middle and high schools in Chesapeake.
“It is an honor for our military members to give back to the local schools and show support to the teachers during this fantastic initiative,” said Capt. Matthew Frauenzimmer, Commanding Officer of NSA Hampton Roads told WAVY TV 10.
“We have a great partnership with the local community and strive to continue to collaborate and sustain those relationships through service.”
About 425 service members have helped 25 @cpschoolsva over the last two days.
The goal is to alleviate the stress of returning to the classroom and to strengthen the bond with the community. pic.twitter.com/M7qdRoShbH
