Phoenix Academy of Granville County Public Schools recently became one of the newest members to be welcomed to the “Bombas’ Beehive.”

In what has been an unprecedented year, Phoenix received a grant from Bombas ‘Giving Partner.” For every pair of socks that Bombas sells, they donate a pair to the homeless, at-risk or in-need communities.

Many boxes of new socks were donated to Phoenix and, in lockstep with Bombas’ philosophy, these boxes were shared with other schools within the Granville County Public Schools’ community including Butner-Stem Elementary, C.G Credle, and Tar River Elementary. These socks were then distributed to those in need in the local community.

The visual arts teacher, Ms. Cindrich, and her passion for at-risk populations was the driving force for writing and receiving the grant donation from Bombas Giving Partner.
