Our Science 8 students had an amazing trip to the Science Museum of Virginia yesterday! 🧪🔬

During a hands-on engineering workshop, students designed and built mini bobsleds from random materials and raced them to see whose design was the fastest. It was a fun way to apply physics concepts like motion, friction, and design thinking.

Check out some highlights from our day below! 📸

Fourth grade wrapped up their novel study of Blood on the River with a special exploration of Native American culture! Two students from the Mattaponi and Upper Mattaponi tribes shared fascinating artifacts with their classmates—did you know turtle shells were once used as a calendar? 🐢📚

Students had the unique opportunity to see items they had read about in their novel, making history come alive. They also learned traditional dances and discovered more about Native American culture. What a wonderful experience celebrating learning and sharing from one another! ✨
