The Virginia Department of Education is offering learning grants in the amount of $1,500 or $3,000 to families of students who qualify. These grants are to be used for tutoring and educational services that can address learning losses suffered from the Pandemic. There is one grant per family, not per child.

In honor of National Police Week, Highland School Resource Officer, Beth McGuire, worked with Highland Physical Education teachers Cindy Wood and Megan Botkin to arrange for students to participate in a mock Law Fit (aka Physical Agility) course. The Law Fit course is the obstacle course that many police officers have had to pass in order to advance for employment during the application process and sometimes even for promotions. Using equipment the school had on hand Officer McGuire set up the course as best she could to mock the actual course. The students loved it, but also realized just how hard it actually is. Some of the obstacles were much easier than in the actual course, but they were timed and almost all passed.
Officer McGuire also worked with Librarian Caroline Botkin to read to the Elementary students and made them a coloring sheet to go along with her story.

Kindergarten serenaded us by singing America the Beautiful during last night's School Board meeting following the Pledge Allegiance.
Later, Mrs. Bridget Nelson shared that she attended the W!SE awards ceremony in New York on April 28th where Highland High School placed 5th in the top 10 small schools category and placed 8th overall in the nation. She then rolled out a banner awarded to Highland High School for placing in the top 100 schools.
