2 Deep Run HS students win Seventh District Congressional App Challenge
Two Deep Run High School students are the Seventh District winners in the Congressional App Challenge, for their creation of an app called Scholance that is designed to allow clients to post freelance community service or paid projects for students.
Vihaan Dutta (who also won the district’s app challenge last year) and Pranav Chinthakuntla created the app, which now will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol and shared on the U.S. House of Representatives’ website, alongside winners from congressional districts across the country.
Amazon donates goods, $25k to VHBG
On Dec. 19, a team of Amazon employees celebrated the holiday season by delivering a truckload of goods to Virginia Home for Boys and Girls and donating $25,000 as well.
The truck contained thousands of essential items from household goods and toiletries to games, art supplies, and clothes. Amazon’s monetary donation will help improve VHBG’s campus, with such amenities as traffic calming measures, security cameras at sensitive areas around campus, and better outdoor lighting of campus roads, homes, and common areas.
Will recent mass shootings turn Virginia’s public safety debate?
