Congratulations to our October Senior of the Month, Braedon Goolsby!
Celebrate Virginia Farm to School Week, October 6–10, 2025.
October is National Farm to School Month, a time to celebrate nationwide connections between schools, early care and adult centers, and local farms! Virginians celebrate Virginia Farm to School Week during the first full week of October to kick off the month.
Farm to school enriches the connection communities have with fresh, healthy food and local food producers by changing food purchasing and education practices at schools and early care settings. Agriculture is Virginia's largest private industry, and supporting local farms increases employment opportunities and community food security while providing the freshest food for all learners.
During Virginia Farm to School Week, the "Crunch Heard' Round the Commonwealth" will make some noise for Virginia farm to school programs on Thursday, October 9. Students, families, schools, farms, education centers, and community members can learn how to build upon farm-to-school programming in their communities by visiting the Virginia Department of Education, Office of School and Community Nutrition Programs Farm to School webpage.
You're invited to the BES Community Engagement at Rodeo's at 15960 N. James Madison Hwy, Dillwyn, Virginia, on Monday, October 6th, from 3:30 - 9:30 PM. Proceeds will go to BES. See the flyer for complete information.
Happy National Principal's Month! Please join us in thanking our BCPS school principals for their tireless devotion to our students, staff, and families. You are appreciated!
