🧡 Kindness connects us across all five of our schools! 🧡

Last week, our entire division celebrated Kindness Week with special activities designed to uplift one another and remind our students just how much they are loved and valued. The highlight of the week came on Wednesday, when our halls were filled with a sea of orange as students and staff stood united in kindness!

We are so proud of the supportive, caring environment our students, staff, and families build together every day. 🌟

Recently, our Unified PE class joined the Goochland High School Unified class for a fun day out! Starting with lunch at Chick-fil-A, students then headed to Bowlero for an afternoon of bowling. Everyone had a great time, and they are already looking forward to our next trip!

🎤✨ What a magnificent night of music in Goochland!

Our talented vocalists from Goochland Middle School and Goochland High School came together to fill the auditorium with incredible harmonies during our Fall Chorus Concert. Watching students across grade levels collaborate and lift each other up through song truly shows the power of our school community.

A huge thank you to Choral Director Mrs. Erinne Smitherman for her dedicated leadership, and to all our hardworking students, supportive families, and staff who made this evening so special.

Students in Mr. Rorrer's Quest classes were asked to pick any topic and then research on that topic. They created a trifold based off their researched information and completed their first presentation. What a great introduction to the class and to teaching both research and presentation skills!
