What an incredible experience our Class of 2031 students had during their GEAR UP trip to James Madison University! Throughout the visit, students explored campus, participated in engaging activities, learned more about college life, and discovered the many opportunities that await them after high school.
From teamwork challenges and campus adventures to taking in the beautiful views and celebrating their accomplishments, this trip was filled with learning, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We even had a little fun along the way! 🐿️📚
A huge congratulations to our students for representing Buckingham Middle School so well. Thank you to the GEAR UP program, JMU, and everyone who helped make this opportunity possible. Experiences like these inspire our students to dream big, work hard, and begin planning for their futures.
💚💛 Once a Knight, Always a Knight… and always reaching for the next goal!
