Field Day Fun

We wrapped up our school year with our annual field day. Our students enjoyed one final pot luck and games of 9-square, basketball, volleyball, a dance party, and a water fight! Hearing the laughter and witnessing the memories being made was the highlight of this final day together.

New Math Instructor

Please join me in welcoming Mrs. Mary Glenn Coleman, the new Alberta campus math instructor. Mrs. Coleman comes to us with ten years of classroom teaching experience in North Carolina and Virginia. She received her undergraduate degree in education with a minor in mathematics from Wake Forest University, her Master's degree as a math specialist from Longwood University, and a higher-level math professional certificate from Radford University. Mrs. Coleman resides in Boydton with her husband and their daughter. We are truly excited to have Mrs. Coleman join our team and look forward to the amazing opportunities she will provide our students.
