Students Experience Hands-on Learning at
the School Forest
Did you know Virginia Public Schools owns a "School Forest," located seven miles north of town? Here on this one hundred twenty acre classroom, 5th grade Roosevelt Elementary students experience hands-on learning as they dig into the soil, examine vegetation, observe wildlife, conduct experiments, and explore the history of our area. Fifth grade teachers and students manage and maintain this property, as well as host classrooms from all of our elementary grades when they take field trips to this special place.
