The Virginia Naturally School Program is the official environmental education recognition program of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This program, administered by the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR), aims to increase environmental literacy among students and fosters a culture of sustainability within schools. It acknowledges schools that have integrated environmental education into their curriculum and have engaged students in conservation efforts.
Farmwell Station MS got recognized as a year 2 VAN school with a special shout out for the amazing cross-curricula activities happening at our school! Congratulations to the staff, administrators and students on earning this honor.
In the second year of recognition, Farmwell continues to build on the initial efforts by expanding their environmental programs and activities. This sustained commitment is crucial for fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the environment among students. Earning the second-year recognition not only enhances the impact on our students and community but also serves as a model for other schools in our county, promoting a broader culture of environmental stewardship.
