Mount Vernon Woods Elementary School

Mount Vernon Woods ES was awarded an grant to support Science and Social Studies learning enrichment! 🌱🔬📚

Thanks to this funding, students explored hands-on learning at Arcadia Farm and welcomed Huntley Meadows Park educators for an engaging in-school experience. We are grateful for opportunities that bring learning to life both inside and outside the classroom! 💙💛

The energy at Mt. Vernon Woods was off the charts this past Friday for our annual SOL Smash! We’re sending our 3rd–6th graders into testing with all the confidence (and whipped cream) in the world. Our students brought the smarts, the hype, and some seriously good aim! From cheering on their classmates to seeing their favorite teachers take a pie to the face, it was the perfect way to de-stress before the big tests. SOL testing begins tomorrow (4/28) for students in grades 3-6. Please check our school website for specific test dates (link in the bio).

Our first Purple Up Day as a Purple Star School! It was incredible to see students across all grade levels showing their support for our military families by wearing purple today. We’re proud to stand together, celebrate, and honor the strength and sacrifice of our military-connected community! 💜✨
