Fundraisers
The Amazing Adventures of Scorpy Bug is a curriculum-based comic series designed to provide a creative learning tool for everyone in our community; from targeted classroom use by teachers and students to casual family reading time at home. The series addresses the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) curriculum on a variety of topics in mathematics, science, history/social science, geography, and health. The comics were originally published in The News and Advance from 2005–2009, but the cheeky bugs and the topics they explored are a timeless way to engage all learners!
