We are honored to be recognized as a Virginia Naturally School for the 2025-2026 school year. The Virginia Naturally School Recognition Program is the official environmental education school recognition program of the Commonwealth and is administered by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources. The goal of this program is to recognize K-12 schools in Virginia that have undertaken exemplary efforts to increase conservation-centered teaching and environmental literacy for all students. Recognized schools provide authentic, hands-on, real-world student learning in STEM and sustainability as well as meaningful field experiences and educational activities extending beyond the classroom.

"Your efforts toward environmental stewardship are to be commended and we appreciate your hard work. Thank you for your continued efforts to introduce your students to the environment and stewardship of our natural resources."
- Courtney Hallacher, DWR Virginia Naturally Schools Chair

A special thank you to Mrs. Rebekah Flora for her hard work and dedication that she has put towards our students and the environment for this award.

Take a look at all things shapes happening in Mrs. Maddy’s Kindergarten class! These kids have been working hard on their shapes & got to enjoy a shape snack. Mrs. Maddy described each of the shapes attributes and the students had to identify the correct shape in order to eat the snack. For example: β€œWhich snack shape has 4 sides and 4 vertices (and believe it or not Kindergartners know that big math word) and has all 4 sides the same?” Then today they had a Shape Pizza Party! They pretended they worked at a pizzeria and added toppings to their pizza based on the attributes of each ingredient (ex: add the ingredient with 3 sides and 3 vertices- which ended up being triangle peppers!) then they counted how many of each shape ingredient they had! Who knew we had such great Kindergarten chefs ?! πŸ•Thanks to some yummy inspired lessons, these Kindergartners are rocking their shape unit!
