💜On Wednesday, April 15th, we’re wearing purple to celebrate our resilient military kids in Virginia! 💜
Military life takes a special kind of strength, and we want to honor the "purple" spirit—the blend of all military branches—shining bright in our schools and communities.

Our annual Fine Arts Festival was a breathtaking celebration of the pure creativity, diverse talent, and "glow" of the Colts community. It was the perfect pre-break kickoff!
We were so incredibly proud to showcase:
🎨 Breathtaking, diverse artwork from every student in Kindergarten through 5th Grade
🎵 An unforgettable show-stopping performance by our 4th and 5th Grade Choir 🎶
🥁 The high-energy, rhythmic beats of our 4th an 5th Grade Percussion Ensemble
A MASSIVE thank you and #ColtsProud shoutout to:
🖼️ Abby Parrish, art teacher
🎵 Ashley Turner, music teacher
You're invited!
Happy Paraprofessional Appreciation Day! 🍎✨
📚 Books, Brainpower, and Big Wins! 🚀
We had a fantastic turnout for our Spring Palooza & Family SOL Night! It was double the excitement as we combined our testing prep with the magic of the Spring Book Fair.
Families joined our teachers and specialists to get a "sneak peek" at the upcoming spring assessments. It wasn’t just about the tests—it was about building confidence!
Here’s a quick recap of what we covered:
Expert Guidance: Our specialists shared valuable resources to help students feel prepared and stress-free.
Cracking the Code: We highlighted the different types of test questions students will see this spring.
TestNav Exploration: Parents got hands-on experience navigating the TestNav platform, exploring exactly what their kids will see on screen.
A huge thank you to all the families who joined us. Seeing our community come together to support student success (and grab a few great books along the way!) is what makes our school so special.✨
Third grade students are gaining serious momentum as they explore the world of Force & Motion! 🎢
Students are becoming energy experts, learning to spot the difference between Potential Energy (getting ready to go!) and Kinetic Energy (energy in action!). 🔋➡️🏃♂️
Watch out, because these future scientists are on the move! 🚀🧠
