On Tuesday, the juniors had the good fortune to meet members of the 343 Firefighter Memorial Ride 2026. These Australian firefighters are traveling cross country to commemorate the 343 firefighters who lost their lives on 9/11. They're in New York now for the 25th Memorial and made a stop at the Meems Bottom Covered Bridge, where they crossed paths with us at the end of our field trip. Thanks to them for their journey and for the adorable koalas from the Australia Zoo. (They're made from recycled materials!)

Just a reminder to our Gov School kids to consider donating blood if not at Stonewall at your home high school.

Stonewall Jackson High School's National Honor Society will be hosting a Red Cross blood drive on Tuesday, September 29th, with appointments from 8:30 to 1:45 pm. It is open to the community, though students ages 16 and 17 will require a permission form from Ms. Self or through the Red Cross website. Register by going to https://www.redcrossblood.org/, searching for our zip code (22847), and selecting a time slot. Donors receive an e-gift card of $15 to be delivered within 30 days of donation.

Maggie, one of Ms Fream’s therapy dogs, made her first appearance of the year. She was so excited to see her old friends and she make some new ones.

Today at MRGS, the juniors enjoyed their first of four field experiences to the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. Today's trip offered students their first opportunity to collect benthic macroinvertebrate organisms and to take part in reflective journaling, preparing to write descriptive or narrative essays about the river. As they explored their environment, they jotted down sensory details that caught their attention or inspired a memory of being on (or in) the water. It was a beautiful morning!
