Rockingham Academy

Huge shoutout to this fantastic crew!

This morning, Mr. Eberly, Mr. Myers, Mr. Shifflett, and Mr. Rolfe stepped up to keep our community beautiful. They spent their morning picking up litter along a 1-mile stretch of road right here in Rockingham County.

We love seeing our Rockingham Academy team leading by example and taking care of the place we call home.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication, gentlemen!

On May 13, our hard-working students traded their desks for shovels to make a lasting green impact in our community. They spent the afternoon planting trees to help rehabilitate the local landscape and build a more sustainable future.

This amazing hands-on project was provided by the Harrisonburg Urban Forestry Program and proudly sponsored by the Virginia Department of Forestry.

A massive thank you to our incredible teachers, Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Shifflett, and Ms. Trumbo, as well as Jeremy Harold (Harrisonburg City Green Space Manager) and Meredith Evans (Rockingham County Landfill Superintendent) for organizing this effort and guiding our students!

Shovels up for the next generation of environmental leaders!
