Have you seen the incredible work from Señora San Andrés’ CVA Spanish IV students? In a virtual art gallery project, students researched Spanish‑speaking artists, selected a piece of artwork, and recorded themselves speaking in Spanish to share their analysis and opinions. This project helped them explore another culture, dive deep into art, strengthen speaking skills, and use tech in creative ways. We are so proud of their hard work and growth!

We had an amazing day at our 4th Annual Teen Summit this past Saturday at Indian River High School! 🙌 We were honored to hear from former James Madison University All-Conference Running Back Dr. Eugene Holloman, who inspired students with a powerful message about perseverance and purpose. From mental health and money management to athletics, college prep, and stress management, our teens gained tools for success now and in the future. Thank you to our Department of Family & Community Engagement for organizing the event, and to our presenters, volunteers, and community members who made it such a success!
