Our goal is simple: celebrate students for showing up, being part of their classroom team, and being ready to learn! Each day a homeroom has all of its students present—or is missing only one student—the class earns a football for its grade level. 🏈 Those footballs are already starting to make their way onto our attendance board!

Our staff got in on the fun with a game of their own! Staff members had to search for and collect teacher football cards hidden throughout the building to build a complete team. Congratulations to Ms. Lewis, who completed her roster first! Because at Farmington, every member of the team matters! 🏆

🏈 Attendance is what matters—and so do YOU! 🦊

Using ScratchJr, students explored the basics of computer programming as they created, tested and improved their own code. These experiences directly support Virginia’s Computer Science SOLs while building problem-solving and computational thinking skills.

Don’t worry, Sycamore Park, Yowell and Emerald Hill—they’re headed your way later this week!
