Tricia Johnson taught kindergarten at Matoaca Elementary School for more than 20 years before retiring in 2004. Recently, she took up a new assignment: sending care packages filled with old photos, classwork and a poem to all of her former students. The remarkably kind act has reconnected her with more than one hundred of her students and has inspired her to reunite with all of them before she dies.

Staunton students part of Richmond's 'Battle of the Brains'

Binge watching television has its advantages beyond just a way to relax after a long day of school or work. Staunton High School's Owen Warner used it to study for his academic competition. Warner didn't watch just any show, though. The senior watched past episodes of "Battle of the Brains," a Richmond-based quiz show for high school students. Warner and his Staunton teammates are one of more than 30 teams from around the state competing on the show this season. "I watched all the episodes from last season," Warner said. "It helped get the style of questions in my mind. Because it's a trivia competition. You've got to know the stuff, but it's more about the mental connections you're making, just knowing when to hit the buzzer." Hudson Bronik-Ezzell agreed that watching the show and knowing the format helped. Bronik-Ezzell, like her teammates, are also part of Staunton's scholastic bowl team, which competes locally against other area schools. But the questions on "Battle of the Brains" and the ones heard during scholastic bowl are very different. "They're a lot shorter," Bronik-Ezzell said of the TV show questions, "and more straightforward." Warner said most teams competing in "Battle of the Brains"
