We are Open!
Most days when other schools are closed, we are playing and learning together. Come join us! Just give a call first to make sure we haven’t gone sledding or are on an adventure in Staunton.  You’re welcome to come meet up where ever we are.

Field Trip- **Date To be Determined– Route 11 Potato Chips: Mount Jackson AND Duck Pin Bowling: Mount Jackson
*Only families preregistered may attend with Raw Learning.  Spring Trimester field trips will be available to register for in March.
**Route 11 Potato Chips was contacted in November and December. Gleamer was told to call back the week before we planned on coming. Gleamer called on Wednesday (2/3) and was told to call back on Thursday (2/4). On Thursday she was told that they still didn’t know when they would be cooking and to call back on Monday (2/8). Gleamer will call them tomorrow and will send out an email on Monday evening with further information and specifics.
