Last summer, Virginia Beach City Public Schools collaborated with the ViBe Creative District and the Canadian-based festival Jackalope to combine action sports with the visual arts.

Jackalope’s mission is to unite action sports communities and enthusiasts from all over the world to celebrate their shared passion. Last year was the festival’s first year in Virginia Beach and the United States.

This three-day event provided several opportunities for our students to be involved through both the action sports and visual arts platforms. Students and staff were proud to work with the festival and have authentic opportunities to showcase their many talents to our Virginia Beach community.
