Our second graders took a step back in time with special guests from the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation! Through the Powhatan–Eastern Woodland Indians program, students explored how the Powhatan people used natural resources to create tools, clothing, shelter, and food. Students had the opportunity to see and explore artifacts, ask questions and discover what daily life was like for the Powhatan people.

Today, Farmington honored Veterans Day with a heartfelt welcome! Staff members and students waved American flags as everyone arrived at school.
We are especially grateful for our very own Mr. Mastromarino, a veteran who continues to serve our school community. He helps our safety patrol members learn how to properly raise and care for the flags. This morning, they also raised the POW/MIA flag in remembrance of prisoners of war and those missing in action.
Thank you, Mr. M, and all veterans, for your service and sacrifice. We are proud to honor you today! ❤️🤍💙
