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 next school year. Can we come to your next anniversary banquet? We heard something about ‘delicious pasta and a candy bar’ 😉 P.A.S.T.A. - Congratulations on another school year down in the books!

We ❤️ the recent Loudoun Now Op-Ed penned by our long-time friend and supporter Karen Schaufeld. "We can [lend extra support] by helping to extend the Loudoun County Public Schools student social, emotional learning and mental health initiatives. "Starting in our elementary and middle schools, LCPS and its partners offer social-emotional learning. "For example, A Place To Be and LEF implement a series of musical performances designed to help younger students learn to be kind and classroom curriculum supports this capability. They also learn how to be respectful to one another." Thanks for the spotlight, Karen! 🙌 Good read on the impact that LEF can have with the help of our partners at 100WomenStrong and A Place to Be!

Meet Denise Powers and Dave Palanzi, two retired Loudoun County Public Schools teachers 👋 Like many former educators, they continue to support students after leaving the classroom. Each week, they are among the Loudoun Retired Educators Association, delivering pantry items for LEF's Fueled⚡️ initiative. The association also donated $1,000 to support our SHINE program, which celebrates heroes in education. Their efforts are greatly appreciated, and we love the energy and excitement they bring each week to support this influential program. Thank you! Want to get involved?

Students at Simpson Middle School recently took part in STEAM Day, a schoolwide event with 20-plus stations that invited students to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. Big shout out to our STEAM Day sponsor Amazon Web Services (AWS)! Professionals from the tech industry also worked some of the stations and shared their experience working in tech careers. This type of school-business collaboration is what makes the Loudoun County Public Schools classroom-to-career pipeline so strong 💪 #awsincommunities #LCPS #LoudounCounty #lef4lcps Kari Murphy Danielle Nadler
