🌟 Leadership in Action at Gloucester High School 🌟
Students and staff from Gloucester High School recently participated in an inspiring leadership retreat alongside facilitators from the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities (VCIC). The day was dedicated to fostering unity, strengthening inclusive student leadership, and empowering students to be upstanders—not bystanders.
We are grateful to VCIC for their impactful facilitation and to the Moton Conference Center for providing a welcoming space for learning, dialogue, and growth. Experiences like these help build stronger, more inclusive school communities. 💙

Talking in math class? Yes! At Abingdon Elementary, Mr Wenner’s fourth graders engaged in great math talk to decide how to use their knowledge of fractions to divide a pretend brownie! Hands on leaning and classroom communication at its finest! #studentengagement #makinglearningfun #AbingdonElementary

It's the last day of National School Lunch Week, and while we're "Tasting the World," we've got to pay homage to our very own home-grown delicacies. Today is All American Day! 🦅
Students will probably feel right at home choosing a bacon cheeseburger, a hot dog, or a salad. It's also the last day for them to get their passports stamped for the weekly challenge. Those can be turned in for an entry to win a prize, so make sure they don't forget to do so!

Students, break out the chopsticks for this next foray in our "Taste the World" celebration of National School Lunch Week!
Some of the most delicious dishes in the world hail from China, and today, we're giving students the option to try some fried rice on their lunch trays. Add an orange and some edamame for a nutritionally (and culturally) balanced meal! (Sorry, no dumplings today!)🍜 We're having such a wonderful time, celebrating new flavors with our students this week.

For today's #NationalSchoolLunchWeek adventure, tell your student to be on the lookout for Italian options in the school cafeteria 🍝
Our elementary schoolers will be treated to cheesy Italian rice and meatballs, while our middle school students can look forward to a chicken spinach alfredo bake 😋 Take it from us: our cafeteria teams have really outdone themselves, today. Pair these with some grapes and a side salad for the ultimate Italian experience!
