A former elementary and middle school math teacher, Nicole understands the pressures that integrating technology into a curriculum can put on teachers, so her goal is to ease that anxiety for her colleagues.

Last week, as I watched young and older students work together planting trees on the Crocker Conservancy, one of the many reasons that I came to Powhatan was highlighted once again for me – we are a Pre-kindergarten through eighth grade school.

Innovation can start with a dream, and after that the
