Happy Spring Break week. Let's catch up and share student highlights this week in case you missed it.
JM student Azariah was picked as the Jobs for Virginia Grads January Student Spotlight. Here is a clip of the article below:
Our student spotlight for January is on Azairah, a senior at James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg City Schools. Azairah is involved with cheerleading, volleyball and soccer, and loves Twilight and Morgan Wallen. Azairah has been involved with JVG for a few years, and she plans to attend Old Dominion University in the fall.
When asked what she likes most about JVG at James Monroe, she said "I like how they give you opportunities to open pathways to your future. I like the school spirit that we have. I love Mr. Brousse and Dr. Doucette because they push us to be better people and do further things after high school."

Congratulations to the JMHS Robotics team who participated in the Innovation Challenge at Dahlgren event this past weekend, March 1 and 2. The team members were Kayla Gullage, Harmony Jones, Alfred Kley, Jacob LaBarge, and Adam Lin. The team applied their STEM skills as they designed and programmed a robot to navigate a course and complete various missions. The team earned perfect scores for their computer code and their presentation to the judges. They won a Raspberry Pi (a computer the size of a credit card), which will be used by the team in years to come.
