Charles County Government Annual Report • 2025
A highlight of her year was hosting her 11th
Annual Back to School Fiesta , a drivethrough event that provided backpacks filled
with supplies to Pre-K through 12th-grade
students in Charles County schools to help
families prepare for the new school year. The
event reflected her ongoing commitment to
supporting youth and families by connecting
local resources directly with those in need.
Beyond this signature program, Dr. Stewart
demonstrated a sustained effort to foster
community well-being and strengthen
public engagement with local government.
