School Beautification

Work has begun on the large, square bed in front of the Lombardy Street entrance. Thanks so much to the PTSA Landscaping Committee, especially co-chairs Lynn Carruth and Chamie Valentine.

Thanks also to Ginny Morrow of Morning Glory Gardens, who created the landscape design.

World Dodgeball Record Set

162 students and faculty members from the Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School set the world record for largest dodgeball game this past Friday, October 23, on the Maggie Walker athletic field. Evidence of the game will be sent to the Guinness Book for official verification.

The game was organized by two seniors, Wil Van Winkle from Richmond and Carter Hadley from Chesterfield. Both have been active in the school’s annual charity dodgeball tournaments.
