Generosity in Action

Mid-November at PVI means one thing… Hunger Action Week!

Paul VI partnered with Food for Others, a food bank and pantry in Fairfax, to support families facing food insecurity. As is tradition, friendly competition added excitement, with students earning points for their Advisories based on the type of items donated, including canned meat, mac and cheese cups, shelfstable milk, juice, and more.

This year’s donations focused on the Power Pack Program. These packs are sent home on Friday afternoons with students facing food insecurity and contain meals that students can make themselves.

The Student Government Association (SGA) led the initiative with the support of Advisors and Big Brothers/Big Sisters and well over 200,000 food items were collected.

“Our goal was to reach 100,000 points, and we are beyond grateful to announce that we surpassed this, thanks to the incredible generosity of our school community,” said SGA copresidents Nisha Downey and Luca DiClemente. “We couldn’t have done this without the collective effort of every student, teacher, and family who contributed.”

PVI’s efforts were featured on 7News DC’s Good Morning Washington. Students are pictured above with senior meteorologist Brian van de Graaff. Scan the QR code to view the segment!

Riding the Wave to Victory

Panthers enjoyed a Hawaiian-themed Rally in the Valley before the first home football game. A new addition of a “signature” Panther Punch from the tiki hut was a big hit.
