Yesterday, our 4th graders had an unforgettable experience attending the Virginia International Tattoo! 🇺🇸
Students were amazed by the incredible performances, from powerful military bands to cultural displays from around the world. It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about tradition, service, and global connections in such an exciting and meaningful way.
We’re so proud of how respectfully and enthusiastically our students represented our school—what a memorable day for everyone!

Last week, our 4th graders stepped back in time during their field trip to Jamestown Settlement!
Students explored the museum galleries, toured the recreated fort, and climbed aboard the replica ship that brought the first English settlers to Virginia. Through hands-on activities and demonstrations, they learned what life was like for the colonists and the Powhatan people.
It was an exciting day of history coming to life and a wonderful opportunity for our students to connect what they’ve been learning in the classroom to the world around them! 📚✨
