Our preschoolers had the sweetest adventure on their field trip downtown at the Central Rappahannock Regional Library! 📚✨
We gathered for story time, explored shelves full of colorful books, and practiced choosing stories that sparked our curiosity. Students lipped through pages and shared their finds with friends. Even more special, some received their very first library cards! 💳📖 Moments like these remind us that a love of reading starts early and lasts a lifetime. 💛 We can’t wait for our next two visits this month!

Wednesday our preschoolers took part in a meaningful and colorful activity, planting pinwheels alongside members of the Fredericksburg Women’s Club in honor of Child Abuse Prevention Month. 💙
Each spinning pinwheel represents the bright, hopeful future every child deserves. It was a great opportunity for learners to engage in a simple act that carries such an important message, raising awareness and supporting safety for all. A big thank you to the Women’s Club for partnering with us and making this experience happen annually.

Our preschoolers had a good time on our field trip to Friends of the Rappahannock River! 🌿💧They explored nature up close, learned about birds, fish, the river and its importance. From discovering plants and wildlife to asking curious questions, it was a day full of hands-on learning. We love having the opportunity for students to connect with nature and build a deeper appreciation for the world around them! 🌎💚

Superintendent Dr. Marci Catlett emphasized the importance of the role in supporting students and staff across the division.
“Positions like Mental Health and Safety Coordinator are essential to the well-being of our school communities,” said Dr. Catlett. “Ms. Acors brings both the professional expertise and the compassionate leadership needed to support students, staff, and families. Her work will help ensure that our schools remain safe, responsive environments where every child can learn, grow, and thrive.”

There was magic in the air at preschool this week! ✨
The Amazing Dean Allen captivated our students with his Seusstacular show, bringing laughter, wonder, and lots of excitement to our day. We were completely engaged as they enjoyed the playful surprises, colorful fun, and magical moments inspired by the world of Dr. Seuss. It was a joyful experience for everyone and a perfect reminder that learning can be filled with imagination and fun! 🎩📚🪄
