Dear Twin Hickory Elementary School,
I am pleased to extend my congratulations on being recognized as a Virginia Naturally School for the 2024-2025 school year. The goal of the school recognition program is to recognize the efforts undertaken by Virginia schools that increase the environmental awareness and stewardship of its students. Your efforts toward environmental stewardship are to be commended and we appreciate your hard work.

Thank you for your continued efforts to introduce your students to the environment and stewardship of our natural resources. We challenge you to think of additional ways you, your students and your faculty can enhance opportunities to connect your students to Virginia’s natural resources. We look forward to reading details of your school’s continued efforts and new initiatives in your future Year 11 application.

Please see the additional email attachments for your Virginia Naturally School Recognition Year 10 Badge and Animal profile that can be used to celebrate your achievement and be on the lookout for your Year 10 recognition certificate, to be placed in your Year 1 wooden plaque, and your metal schoolyard sign in the mail.

Sincerely,
