Learning Life is a new educational non-profit based in Alexandria.  Learning Life's mission is to nurture a wider culture of learning by spreading knowledge on the surfaces of everyday life (napkins, cup sleeves, placemats, cereal boxes, etc.), then connecting these surfaces to more learning online.  In November and December, we are partnering with the Office of Historic Alexandria to help inform more people about our city's remarkably rich history.   Learn more about our holiday "Buy Local, Learn Local" project, and get local discounts and deals here:
