Richmond, VA Grades PreK-2

My Project

Our students have been working so hard, and we want to celebrate a great school year. Each year, we end the year with a school-wide day of fun. Field day is a day full of competition and sportsmanship. Spending the day outdoors means we must keep our students hydrated. We will have a rolling, mobile hydrate station with coolers for water, ice pops, and other cold treats.

Summer Heat, Cool Treats!

Our core values of academics, community, pride, and justice allow us to advocate for all within this urban neighborhood by extending compassion and partnering with families to nurture lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens through STEM/STEAM, performing arts, visual arts, athletics, coding, computer science (CS), financial literacy, and mental health/social-emotional learning (SEL). We receive federal funding for programs that provide free breakfast/lunch for every student and Title I services to economically disadvantaged individuals. Our inclusive class serves military families, gifted/talented students, ESL/ELL students, special education students, and tech-savvy students.
