Thanks to generous support from the Piedmont Master Gardeners and the Stony Point PTO, we will begin replacing our raised beds on Sunday November 12th! This is a huge project and we will need lots of volunteers to help demolish the old beds and assemble the new ones.

Don't forget your water bottle and a snack. Please contact Amber Capron at amber@cricketrun.com, if you can help with this project.

Make-up picture day is Monday November 13th. If your child did not get their picture taken already, they can get it taken on this day. If your child was present for the initial picture day and you weren’t happy with the picture, please send in the envelope so your student can re-take.

Coming home to you soon will be your child's custom catalog for the Square 1 Art fundraiser. All orders must be placed by Tuesday November 14.

Simply search for your child's art using Art Search, and enter state, school name, and your student's name. Your student's art and code will appear, and you may order! You can upload additional art if you like, using Art Upload!

If you have questions about ordering, contact customer care online or Leslie Greiner at lgreiner@k12albemarle.org.

Thank you for supporting our school!

Families Helping Families (FHF) works to ensure that each child receives what they need to reach their full academic and social potential while removing obstacles to learning in ACPS. FHF formed because of an imbalance in funding support provided by outside agencies school by school. The funds raised by FHF are used to address learning and teaching barriers in support of ACPS’s equity mission. To see examples of the ways FHF has made an impact on families across ACPS and learn more about how you can give or get help, click HERE to view their website.
