Students from Ms. Blair and Ms. Michelle's class at the South Boston Day School enjoyed a trip to Royal Berry Farm in Vernon Hills, VA! During their visit, students learned about fruit farming, explored how blackberries are grown and harvested, and worked together to collect berries. They also discussed the many ways blackberries can be used, from fresh snacks to jams, desserts, and more.

Experiences like these provide valuable opportunities for hands-on learning, teamwork, and meaningful interaction within our community. Thank you to Royal Berry Farm for a wonderful day of learning and fun!

Hands-on learning is growing in Mrs. Cindy’s class at South Boston Day School! Students explored parts of a plant, learned about plant life cycles and put their knowledge into action by planting their own tomato plants. Along the way, they practiced teamwork, followed step-by-step directions and worked together to care for their growing plants.

We cannot wait to watch both our students and their tomato plants continue to grow! 🌱 🍅

The students in our residential program got creative and made snacks for the birds, and maybe a squirrel or two! After making the treats, they hung them in the trees outside so they can watch the birds enjoy them. 🐦 🐿️

What an amazing start to our summer program at The Danville Day School!

This week, our young scientists explored the exciting world of science through hands-on experiments, colorful reactions and plenty of discovery. Students created bubbling underwater volcanoes, made stretchy slime and watched expanding snow grow before their eyes. They were amazed by the colorful patterns in our tie-dye milk experiment and loved watching a simple combination of Skittles and water transform into a beautiful rainbow Ferris wheel of colors.

Every day was filled with curiosity, creativity and excitement as students experimented, observed and learned through play. Seeing their enthusiasm and wonder as they explored different scientific concepts made for a fantastic first week! We can’t wait to see what adventures next week will bring! 🌟

Our team at The Hughes Center works diligently every day to ensure our youth know their needs are a top priority and that mental health truly matters.

Thank you to this incredible team for the care, dedication and impact you make each day!
