Images from the 50th Anniversary Celebration at BelleBend
In 1971, Blacksburg saw a group of parents and teachers collaborate on a new way to educate children. The “New” School was a cooperative school. It was designed to challenge the status quo of the educational system and change many of the conventions of everyday school life.
After 50 years, the school is still “new,” with new faces, new approaches, and new perspectives shaping each year. We hope you will celebrate the accomplishments of our special school with us throughout the year. Please check out the timeline of events and news stories, view the gallery of photos, and share your memories with us.
