Jamestown 2007 Events Calendar The Cumberland County Jamestown 2007 Committee, in cooperation with Cumberland High School and the "Learn and Serve Grant," announces the Schedule of Events for 2007 brochure. These brochures can be found at various locations around the county, and may be viewed online here. These events are scheduled throughout the year, and highlight the history and beauty of Cumberland County. For more information, contact Van Petty at vpetty@vt.edu or call 804.492.3800 x1142. The B.E.S.T. Project The B.E.S.T. Project stands for "Building Excellence for our Students Today". In a school system that has become known for its excellent teachers and outstanding students, it is time to build a school that will continue to support this level of excellence. Thanks to the Board of Supervisors approval of the comprehensive agreement on December 1, 2006, this will now become a reality! Once in place, Cumberland will not only have the proud pleasure of having a fully-accredited school system but also the home of a state-of-the-art, fully enclosed, safe, new Middle and High School complex within the 2008 school year! Please visit the Cumberland Co. Public Schools website (http://www.cucps.k12.va.us) to view key achievements and an overview of the project timeline. You will also find information here regarding the 'Generations Courtyard Brick Campaign' that will memorialize the original 1936 High School building. For more information on the project progress or the brick campaign, email Karen Mulleins at kcmulleins@cucps.k12.va.us.
