Also, September is Library Card Sign-Up Month. When the school library doesn't have what you need, the public library can help. Richmond Public Library has a lot of amazing resources and a great new youth card that is FINE FREE: nothing to pay for late books! Here's the link for more information: https://rvalibrary.org/services/get-card/ and a representative from the East End Branch of the Public Library will be at our Back to School Night on Thursday, September 19 from 5:30-7.

Greetings students and colleagues,
Welcome back to a new school year. I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful summer.
During the summer I did some gardening and yard work for my dad, and spent most of the summer completing an art therapy graduate class on children’s trauma and the PTSD suffered by veterans. I plan to share vital information I learned about trauma for a staff PD at some point during the beginning of the school year.
There’s a special exhibition on 400 years of Virginia history at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture that I would like our 4th grade students to see. Perhaps we can plan a field trip to see how it ties in with 4th grade studies. Everyone, have a fantastic & inspirational year!
