Thank You for Supporting the Peabody 2020 Campaign!

Thank you to all the families who came to the event at Three Notch’d where we shared plans for new STEM, performing arts, and outdoor play space.

Grade 8 Trip to UVA Cardiology

The 8th grade had the wonderful opportunity to tour the UVA Hospital’s cardiology unit this week. Surgeons, nurse practitioners, perfusionists, therapists, and many more members of the cardiac team donated their time to create a extraordinary experience for our 8th graders. A tour of the Operating Room, heart dissections led by a team of four heart surgeons, and a cath lab surgical simulation were just a few of the amazing experiences UVA lined up for us. A huge thank you goes out to Dr. Gorav Ailawadi and April Howell for putting this together!

Summer Camp Opportunities

  • Raspberry Pi Camp will he held the week of July 8th at Peabody for rising 6th-9th grade students. The goal of the Peabody Raspberry Pi Camp is to get someone over the initial hurdles of coding and become self sufficient for electronic projects in the future. A Raspberry Pi is a credit card sized computer that is a powerful learning tool for coding and electronics. If your student is interested in learning about robotics, coding, and circuitry and wants to learn real world coding and applications, this is the perfect summer camp for them. Go to cvillepicamp.com to learn more and sign up.

  • Fine Arts Academy provides students from our region with an opportunity to spend time studying a field of art of their choice under the direction of highly qualified and engaging teachers. Registration for summer 2019 is now open! Rising 7th-12th grade students are invited to register for one of five camps, all of which will take place July 8-12, 2019, at Albemarle High School.
