We had a wonderful time celebrating our new teachers as they completed their first year with Waynesboro Public Schools. This special event, organized by our Talent & Development Director, Melissa Cobb, was a meaningful way to recognize their growth, dedication, and impact on our students.
Here’s to a great first year and many more to come!
From seedlings taking root to chicks hatching before our eyes, our students are getting a front-row seat to the wonders of growth and new life. There’s nothing like learning that comes alive! 💛

Students explored powerful exhibits that deepen understanding of history, culture, and identity, bringing classroom learning to life in a meaningful way.
Experiences like this help students connect the past to the present and inspire future learning.




A group of 21 students from Waynesboro High School recently explored Sherando Lake alongside the Chesapeake Bay Foundation!
Students learned about water quality, watersheds, macroinvertebrates, and water safety—all while gaining hands-on experience paddling 17-foot canoes.
This unforgettable experience was made possible by the Ridge Career Pathways Consortium “Innovative Ideas for the Next Generation” mini-grant.
Our students, teachers, and instructors had an incredible time—we’re already looking forward to the next adventure! 🌊

She read her book Love is Like a Butterfly, written as a legacy for her son, who illustrated it while in third grade and shared her love for Wenonah, where her journey began. 🦋
Students also created their own pages about what makes them feel loved, bringing their ideas together into a class book to take back and treasure. 💙
