Last week, Buckingham FFA members spent the day in Richmond speaking with legislators about FFA and Agricultural Education. They were able to speak with Senator Cifers and Delegate Garrett in person. Members also had the opportunity to take a large-group photo with Governor Spanberger and approximately 900 other Virginia FFA members. Afterwards, they enjoyed a history lesson with a tour of the Capitol!

❄️ Winter Weather Meal Pickup – Care in Action ❄️
As we prepare for the incoming winter weather, Buckingham County Public Schools was proud to support our students and families by providing meals to ensure no child goes without during the storm.
Thanks to the incredible teamwork of our cafeteria staff, maintenance team, grounds team, central office staff, and other dedicated school employees, more than 400 students received meals; prepared, packed, and delivered with care.
From early morning planning to lifting boxes, organizing bags, and making sure everything ran smoothly, this effort truly showcased what it means to be a school community that takes care of its own. 💚
We are grateful for the hard work, flexibility, and heart shown by our staff, and thankful for the opportunity to serve our students when it matters most.

Students Shine at SkillsUSA Cosmetology Competition!
Our students delivered an outstanding performance at the recent SkillsUSA competitions, proudly representing BCHS with talent, professionalism, and creativity.
Omauria Dibble excelled in the Natural Hair Braiding competition, impressing judges with precision, creativity, and professionalism. Judges praised Omauria for demonstrating undeniable talent and for following all competition rules to a tee—an achievement that truly set her work apart.
Bri Corner and Jaylasha Miles also made a powerful impression in the Total Fantasy Look competition. Their artistic vision and flawless execution “knocked it out of the park,” especially when showcased on their model, Kylah Austin. The overall presentation reflected exceptional teamwork, skill, and attention to detail.
Awards will be announced on Tuesday, January 20, at 5:30 PM, and we look forward to celebrating their hard work.

On January 10th, 2026 Daniel Flores traveled to the ACE Center at Virginia Randolph and competed in the SkillsUSA Virginia District 2 Welding contest. Daniel competed against 3 other contestants from ACE and Powhatan HS in building a weldment coupon. The contest required the students to read a blueprint, cut, fit and and build their projects using drawing/welding symbol interpretation techniques as well as various hand/power tools and welding processes. Daniel represented Buckingham CTE and BCHS with great poise and integrity; he learned many things about himself and the trade during the event...and even got a job offer from two judges!
Winners will be announced at the SkillsUSA District 2 awards ceremony at ACE Center at Heritage in Richmond next Tuesday January 20th. Winners will move on to the SkillsUSA State Championships in Va Beach March 9-11.
Congratulations Daniel on putting yourself out there and best of luck!
