For Black History Month, the middle school selects an important African American to highlight each week. The morning news crew hosts a trivia contest and announces the winner live every morning. This week's Person of the Week is Dorothy Vaughan. Vaughan was a teacher in Farmville and later became a mathematician for NASA. You can learn more about her incredible journey and legacy in the book and film "Hidden Figures."
Don't forget, the Family Engagement Center has a variety of FREE books our Eagles can take home! Stop by to browse our shelves and discover what interests your Eagle!
Students enjoyed Valentine's activities today! The MS PTO hosted a carnation fundraiser, delivering them with personalized notes. Meanwhile, the HS encouraged staff and students to exchange notes of kindness. Additionally, the agricultural class created beautiful floral arrangements. Meanwhile, our #ittybittyeagles could be seen bringing in cards for their classmates.
Parent-Teacher Conferences were held last week. Don't forget you can check your Eagle's grades and attendance using the Parent Portal. Don't have access? Contact your Eagle's school to get set up. #attendancemattersVA
