🐢🎓 What a perfect way to end the school year!
On our very last day of school, students discovered a turtle laying her eggs near the playground — turning the final day into an unforgettable real-life science lesson. Students watched from a safe distance as we protected the area and observed nature at work.
Of course, our special visitor needed a name, and our students chose “Pearl!” 🥚✨
From classrooms to the great outdoors, this year has been filled with curiosity, discovery, and memorable moments. What a wonderful reminder that learning truly happens everywhere.
Have an amazing summer, Tigers — and good luck to Pearl and her future hatchlings! 💛🐢 #LastDayOfSchool #NatureInAction #TigerPride #MemoriesMade

Kindness was in full bloom as our SCA students completed their service project by creating heartfelt cards for the residents of The Culpeper. 💌

Every SCA member played a part in spreading joy and encouragement through handmade messages, while our SCA officers had the special opportunity to personally deliver the cards and spend time visiting with residents.

We are so grateful our students were able to experience the power of service, connection, and community. From shared smiles to meaningful conversations, this was a day our students will not soon forget. ❤️
