Virginia Farm to School Week will occur October 2-6, 2023.
The Crunch Heard ‘Round the Commonwealth increases awareness of Virginia farm to school programs. To celebrate the event, our schools in Halifax County as well as many others across Virginia will simultaneously take a bite out of a Virginia grown apple. Together, we will make some noise for farm to school programs! The “Crunch” is held during Virginia Farm to School Week each year. The Crunch will take place on Thursday, October 5, 2023.
Ms. Peacock's French students enjoyed a few rounds of Le Morpion (Tic-Tac-Toe) as they worked to replace direct and indirect objects with pronouns. A number of strategic moves were made among this competitive bunch!
Too many absences can keep students from succeeding in school. If students miss 10% of the school year, they are considered chronically absent.

Attendance Matters!
Did you know If a student is absent 10% or more of the school year, it is considered chronic absenteeism? Ten percent is 18 days per school year or an average of two days a month.
Students in Ms. Emma Hanson's Sports Medicine class dissected gummy bears to gain a better understand of the three anatomical planes. What a "delicious" way to learn!

Parents/Students may also stop by the main office to pick up an application as well. Parking passes will not go on sale until open house on August 16, 2023 from 12:30 PM-6:30 PM. This application must be completed in advance and returned when you purchase your parking pass. There are sections where parents and students will have to complete. Students will also have to show that they have a valid driver's license and the cost is $20. If you don't have a form completed at the time of purchase then you will have to take a form, fill it out, and bring it back before we can issue one. We thank you in advance.
