Our 8th-grade Entrepreneurship class recently welcomed Eli Moore, Waynesboro High School Girls Soccer Coach and owner of Turk Mountain Coffee, as a guest speaker. Mr. Moore shared his firsthand experiences and the realities of launching and operating a small business, walking students step by step through the entrepreneurship pipeline they have been studying in class. This visit is another great example of how we are connecting classroom learning with our local community, providing students with real-world perspectives and experiences that bring their lessons to life.

Over the last two weeks, students in KCMS's gardening classes have taken part in a celebration of one of our local agricultural resources: Apples!

Last week, students visited Crosskeys Farm to harvest apples and tour the working orchard. This week, students processed apples in our outdoor classroom to make fresh apple cider, apple butter, and apple dumplings. Students were hands on through every part of the process, including operating a water-powered apple cider press. They finished the week by documenting their experiences in a student blog.

Huge thank yous to our Crosskeys Farm for the apple donation, as well as to our chaperones, custodians, and admin that have made it all possible. The kids had a blast!

If you have questions, please contact our athletic director, Coach Stevens, at jstevens@waynesboro.k12.va.us
