After months of planning, collaboration, and behind-the-scenes work, the inaugural Teachers' Lounge Makeover reached its exciting final phase with the reveal of a fully refreshed space at Suburban Park Elementary School in Norfolk.

From Planning to Transformation

The Virginia Lottery, along with partners The Supply Room and Brightstar Lottery, worked together to thoughtfully plan every detail of the makeover. During Spring Break, the transformation came to life with fresh paint applied by Virginia Lottery and The Supply Room employees, comfortable new furniture, and modern appliances—including a brand-new refrigerator generously purchased by Brightstar Lottery.

The result is a welcoming, functional space created specifically for the teachers and staff who support students throughout the school year.

Celebrating Educators Across Virginia

Suburban Park Elementary was randomly selected from a large pool of eligible entries representing approximately 75% of Virginia’s K-12 public schools. During the nomination period, teachers, staff, parents, and community members across the Commonwealth submitted entries to help celebrate the educators who make a lasting difference in students' lives.
