This Friday is our first of two Lantern Walks. Grades 1 to 3 will come together this Friday, November 7th, while Early Childhood will have their own Lantern Walk on Friday, November 14th. This event represents the coming of winter, and the preservation of our inner light during a season of darkness. Students will use the lanterns they’ve prepared in their classes; family members are welcome to bring their own.

Our first, second, and third grade classes recently went on their annual field trip to Carter Mountain Orchard in Charlottesville. Apple picking, hayrides, cider donuts, and perfect weather made for a memorable trip!
