A sustained local recognition
Virginia DWR’s official 2025–2026 recognition list names Gretna Middle School and marks this as its eighth recognition year. The program recognizes schools for environmental education and stewardship work.
The list confirms the award and year count, but it does not detail Gretna Middle’s individual projects. Those specifics should come from the school or its submitted portfolio.
Turn the honor into a community invitation
Families can ask which student projects, outdoor learning activities or conservation partnerships supported the recognition and how students can join future work.
- Celebrate the verified eight-year milestone.
- Ask the school for project-level details before naming them.
- Look for volunteer or material needs tied to future activities.
