One of our favorite traditions at Byrd is Reading Buddies!
Older students pair up with younger ones to share stories, laughter, and the joy of reading together. These special moments build confidence, connection, and a love of books that lasts all year long.

🍃🐝 Goochland Outdoors 2025 🐝🌳
Last Thursday, all of our 5th graders from Goochland, Randolph, and Byrd Elementary Schools came together at Westview on the James for Goochland Outdoors — a day of hands-on learning in nature!

Students had the chance to:
🐝 Learn from one of our very own teachers (and beekeeper!) about the vital role bees play in our ecosystem.
🌳 Hear from True Timber arborists about the importance of trees and vegetation in keeping our environment healthy.
🌱 Work alongside Master Gardeners to explore native and non-native plants and their impact on our ecosystems.

This special day gave our students the chance to connect classroom learning with the natural world around them — sparking curiosity and appreciation for the environment. 🌎✨
