When Hidden Valley Middle School in Roanoke County, Virginia, reached out for help repairing their koi pond, we didn’t hesitate.

What started as a simple request turned into a full rebuild—planned, executed, and completed by our Branch crew.

We give where we live. And we hope this koi pond brings joy to the Hidden Valley Middle School community.
