One of the many great benefits of a small, integrated independent school is the opportunity for students across grade levels to learn from, support, and inspire one another every day.

Here, eighth grader and waterman Mead Smith lends a hand to fourth grader Eli Messinger, teaching him how to tie an overhand loop knot for his upcoming watershed project.

Built in 1835, St. John's Episcopal Church in Warsaw, Virginia replaced the ca. 1732 Lunenburg Parish Lower Church abandoned after the American Revolution and the disestablishment of the Anglican Church. After the disestablishment of the Anglican Church, some colonial Anglican churches were occupied by different denominations while others fell into ruins.

Featuring Flemish-bond brick and Classical Revival design, St. John's exemplifies revitalization of the Episcopal Church in Virginia under Rt. Rev. Richard Channing Moore, second bishop of Virginia (1814-1841). Rt. Rev. Moore, who revived old parishes and rebuilt ruined churches, inspired young rectors, including the Rev. George Washington Nelson who revived North Farnham, Cople, and Lunenburg parishes.

Thank you to all who attended our fundraising dinner on March 28th! The ECW of Richmond County presented $1000 checks to Brittany Claiborne of The Haven, Jean Light of the Boys and Girls Club of Richmond County, and Aime Jenkins of the Salvation Army. All three women spoke about the important work their organizations do for our community. We appreciate everyone who supports our events, because it allows us to serve our community through groups like these.
