New Academy Charter School recently had the pleasure of hosting corporate volunteers from companies including BNY Mellon and Bayer Corporation. Groups from both organizations came to complete a variety of projects that greatly enhanced the physical aesthetics of the the school. From painted the exterior courtyard and interior hallways, to cleaning out vacant classrooms to create our new workout room, the faculty and students of New Academy Charter School sincerely appreciate all of the effort contributed by these generous volunteers.
With assistance from a group of generous corporate volunteers from IventHelp, New Academy Charter School continued renovations by painting hallway and restrooms areas. Additionally, motivational messages were added to several spaces to provide inspiration to students and staff throughout their day.
Thank you to all who participated in this event and contributed to making our school an amazing educational environment!
