As part of our study on the 13 colonies, we got messy and made our own historical ink out of blueberries! This project helped us understand the amazing resourcefulness of early American settlers and how they used simple, everyday materials for essential tasks.














After learning the basics at school last week, students got to practice vital skills like writing a check, making a deposit, filling out a deposit slip, and even counting cash. They also received important lessons on spotting scam emails and the fundamentals of budgeting.
Thank you to the team at Primis Bank for giving our students such valuable, hands-on financial education!

Ms. Compton's and Mrs. Funai's students crushed their cooking group project! They didn't just cook; they planned, budgeted, and shopped for every ingredient. The field trip to Food Lion on Wednesday was the final prep for Friday's feast! What a great way to learn real-world skills. Great job, everyone!

We welcomed 17 energetic campers from 2nd through 7th grade for a fun-filled day of learning, teamwork, and hockey excitement. Our amazing JV and varsity field hockey players led the camp, teaching new athletes the fundamentals of the game, from dribbling, passing, and shooting to positions on the field.
The day wrapped up with an action-packed 7v7 scrimmage, where campers got to show off their new skills!
We are so proud to see the next generation of King William Field Hockey athletes taking the field for the very first time. Thank you to all the players, families, and Coach Funai and Hood who made this day possible. The future of KWHS Field Hockey is bright!






Students learned all about smart saving, including how to open a bank account, pay themselves first, create a budget, build an emergency fund, avoid debt, and set meaningful financial goals. They had a blast playing games, winning prizes, and gaining valuable life skills to help them plan for their financial future.
Next week, students will take a field trip to Primis Bank to continue their learning journey by exploring topics like money fraud, how to open accounts, and responsible money management.
A huge thank you to Primis Bank for investing in our students and providing such a fun, engaging, and empowering learning experience!
