The Junior League of Roanoke Valley (JLRV) picked up paint brushes and drills to renovate an unused room for the Greenvale School last week. The updated classroom will become a computer and tutoring lab for students and families to improve their computer skills for academic and professional ventures.
Greenvale School is a Roanoke organization that provides exceptional child care services for children whose parents are working, participating in job training or enrolled in educational programs. The School takes a community approach by nourishing the growth and development of each child while supporting parents’ endeavors to build a prosperous future for their families.
“It has been many years since any volunteer group has offered to take on a project of this magnitude. As such, we were just thrilled that this year’s JLRV Provisional Class [helped] us clean up and brighten up the old office for a whole new purpose,” said Jenny Lee, Greenvale School’s director of Development. Lee added that they are “really excited about opening up this resource to our families and to the community!”
We had great fall weather for painting, we had a great cause to advance and we had a blast!
