Virginia SOL testing starts this week! We are so proud of the preparation our students put in last week. Our teachers and staff have equipped them with the skills and confidence they need to do their best. 💪

A few helpful reminders for success:
✅ Get a good night’s sleep each evening
✅ Eat a nutritious breakfast before school
✅ Stay positive and take your time on each question

With preparation, focus, and encouragement from home, our students are ready to shine and show what they know! 🙌

On February 26, 2026, we proudly celebrated the opening of our Youth Art Month Exhibition 🎨✨

What made the evening even more special? Three West Point Middle/High School students took an unexpected opportunity to give back—stepping into the art studio to teach elementary students how to create pinch pots. This beautiful moment of mentorship was completely unplanned and truly inspiring!

The story didn’t end there 💛 After the artwork was fired, the students reunited when the older students personally delivered the finished pieces to the elementary classrooms.

We couldn’t be more proud of their initiative, creativity, and leadership. Moments like these show the true power of art to connect, inspire, and build community. 🌟
