Brook Road Academy Students Meet President Obama
Three students from Brook Road Academy got a HUGE thrill recently: they met President Obama on the president’s recent trip to speak at the Rolls-Royce plant in Prince George County.
One of the president’s Secret Service agents is a personal friend of Brook Road Academy teacher Ben Walters and his wife. So when the president announced his trip, the agent asked Ben if he would like to bring some students to meet the president.
The result? The students got a thrill of a lifetime!

Work Crews Finishing Pavilions
Work crews are finishing up their work on the Villa’s two picnic pavilions as part of the campus redevelopment project. The pavilions, located near Cottage 8 at the North end of campus and next to Dooley School, play an important part in the daily lives of the people we serve.
During the year, several special events are held at each pavilion, including end-of-year celebrations at the Villa’s schools and end-of-summer events, including the Villa Staff Appreciation event.
Each pavilion received a new roof, and new brick columns were installed.
They look fantastic!
