We are excited to launch a new series this year: Faculty Friday! On the last Friday of each month, we’ll introduce you to one of our amazing Peabody faculty members. We hope you enjoy getting to know the wonderful people who make up our community!

For our first Faculty Friday, we’re thrilled to introduce Francie Weinberg! Ms. Weinberg recently moved to Charlottesville from Florida, where she worked as a school counselor for 10 years.
The daughter of two teachers, Ms. Weinberg always thought she would never go into education, but after graduating from college, she found herself drawn to the profession and has never looked back!

A fun fact about Ms. Weinberg? She’s learning Spanish in her free time! Outside of school, she loves taking long walks with her dog, Rosie. She was also an avid Barbie collector in elementary school and still has around 100 unopened boxes of Barbies at her parents’ house!

Ms. Weinberg is thrilled to be part of the Peabody community and looks forward to getting to know our students and helping build a school where everyone feels safe to learn, grow, and try new things. She also can’t wait to experience a Peabody Earth Day!

Welcome to Peabody, Ms. Weinberg! We are so glad you’re here!

This week Ms. Lastinger and Anya Kapoor ‘25 met with a team from the Thomas Jefferson Soil and Water Conservation District who were sharing where their funding is used with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and two federal EPA workers.

We are especially excited that they chose to spotlight Peabody’s collaboration with Darden Towe Park!

Thank you to Anya for sharing about the experience of working in the park and to Ms. L for speaking about the importance of student-led projects and the power of funding these efforts to spark stewardship.

We are so proud of our students for getting out into the community and making a difference!

We are proud to announce that our school’s atrium will be renamed the Rob Orlando Atrium in recognition of Mr. Orlando’s decade of service and lasting impact on our school community.

Today, parent volunteers assembled an acoustic learning tree from Learning Spaces Global that will become a centerpiece of the atrium, symbolizing the many ways Mr. Orlando has helped our school grow over the past ten years.

We can’t wait to see our students enjoying this updated space when they return this fall!

A big thank you to the Class of 2026 families for supporting our 8th graders' vision to renovate our outdoor classroom space as their graduating gift. After raising over $26,000 we are excited to open this new space for students which includes a chalkboard, pinboard for posters, a "curio cabinet" for nature finds, and easier access to the Peabody woods with a staircase and bridge!
