AHQ Teams make school visits in Fall 2022
Kudos to two of Bristol’s residencies for geng out in the community to meet with local school
children this fall, generously giving of their me and resources.
Wytheville Residency’s Wytheville AHQ sponsored two preschool classes from Clinch Valley
Community Acon Head Start in Fort Chiswell to a trip to the local pumpkin patch, raising over $300 for the
event. Employees also provided a truck and motor grader to the school in October and gave out coloring
books.
Members of the Abingdon Residency and Chilhowie AHQ visited Chilhowie Elementary during their
annual fall fesval, providing VDOT equipment to the school for the kids to get an up‐close view and providing
candy to the students.
Thanks to each area for reaching out to area school children, familiarizing them with VDOT and what we do
in the community.
