2025 Future Leaders: Pomperaug HS Student Gives Back Through Art

SOUTHBURY, CT — Patch and T-Mobile are teaming up to present a look at future leaders in the community, and one student in Southbury is certainly on the right track.

Stevie Bennett, an AP at student at Pomperaug High School and vice president of the National Art Honor Society, is giving back through art as part of her senior project.

According to the Pomperaug Regional School District 15, Bennett, who was named the PHS Artist of the Month, is collecting new and gently used art supplies for Waterbury Youth Services, which serves youth from Danbury to Waterbury.

"Her mission also goes beyond supplies," the school district said recently in a Facebook post. "Stevie has also written a research paper on the benefits of art for youth mental health."
