| The
House Students Built Sale of 7th House Project benefits Foundation |
 In
September 2007 Virginia Beach students, staff, and volunteers
began construction on the Education Foundation’s 7th House
Project located at 816 13th Street. “The
House That Students Built” (THTSB) was put on the
market during the summer of 2009 and sold in February 2010 for
$327,000. Thanks to the donation of time and resources from
more than 40 businesses, the sale of the house generated $80,000
to benefit the Education Foundation and fund future teacher
grant projects. Plans for the 8th House Project at 413 23rd
1⁄2 Street are already underway.
