Mrs. Murdock and Ms. Heaney’s fourth grade reading class had a virtual field trip with the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in celebration of Black History Month.

Students had the opportunity to talk about characterization of the people in the piece and emotional connections to art.

Hey stallion families! Here are the latest Lost and Found items. If you see something that belongs to your child, please reach out to their teacher, or Mrs. Dugger at kdugger@ccpsweb.org, and we will help your child get their item(s) back. As always, nothing makes us happier than labeled coats, lunch boxes and water bottles. So if you have a free moment, please consider labeling those items. Have a great night!
That's a wrap on kindness week! Thanks for a fun and warmhearted week, Stallions!
