at Monticello High School
Virginia’s oldest kids’ track race!
Races for kids ages 3-12

Lace up for Virginia’s oldest kids’ track race! It’s time for the Virginia Discovery Museum’s 24th Annual Discovery Dash! Taking place at Monticello High School on May 17, this event will feature over a dozen races including a scramble for the little ones, exciting parent-child relays, and a school relay. There will be trophies, yummy food, and great exercise. The Discovery Dash has long been one of the most fun events hosted by VDM. It is always a joy to see the kids run their hearts out as they are supported by their friends and family.

Earth Day in Physical Education!

Earth Tag

1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders had a visit from two professional tennis players.  The tennis players spoke to them about their 4-5 hour daily commitment to practicing and playing tennis. They also shared with our students the choices they make to eat healthy everyday (including drinking lots of water to stay hydrated) and to stretch and exercise to stay in shape for their tennis matches. 

What are you going to do this Spring to stay active?
