Charlottesville, Virginia (3/11/2022) – QuickStart Tennis of Central Virginia, Inc. (QCV) is pleased to report the preschoolers at Cumberland Elementary School in Cumberland County recently received a third book, Pete the Cat Snow Daze, to add to their home libraries. This is the second year Cumberland preschoolers have received books and giveaways from Racquets for Reading!!!. The giveaways this year are made possible by a generous grant from Weyerhaeuser and the support of Ben Kobek, Virginia Area Manager for Weyerhaeuser.
Early Childhood Special Education teacher Kathy McCutcheon says, “Pete the Cat for the win! Abbie [shown above] gives a big thumbs up for the newest book in her home library. Pete the Cat may bring on smiles from our pre-kindergarteners in Cumberland but QuickStart Tennis and their love for our children makes me smile. With every book distribution we hear from our families how appreciative they are for each and every book they receive. So many of these children have younger siblings so these books will be loved for many years to come. Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving and believing in our children.”
Lynda Harrill, QuickStart Coordinator, adds, “We love working with the folks at Cumberland Elementary and have for many years now. They know how to maximize the resources they have, are great community partners and always put a big smile on my face. It’s a pure pleasure to work with them.
Just a reminder to "Spring Forward" this weekend. #iamcucps #DukePride

A teacher at Cumberland County Public Schools has been arrested and is being investigated jointly by the Cumberland Sheriff's Department and the Powhatan Sheriff's Department. The school division is working closely with law enforcement and the Department of Social Services to ensure the well being of all children. I understand that you will have questions and concerns regarding this. Please know that we are actively working with the involved agencies to ensure that appropriate measures are taken. The staff member has not been on campus since last week.
Rain, winter weather, or hopefully some sun--no matter what the weather brings--register today for the CuCPS Foundation 5K! This is a great event that provides a lifetime of benefits. #iamcucps #DukePride @CucpsFoundation
