The Flying Squirrels are actively involved in education and youth development through the Go Nuts for Reading Program, Score an 'A' Program and the Atlantic Union Bank Art Contest. These FREE components are designed to incentivize and reward hard work and creativity for school children throughout the Central Virginia region. Details for each program can be viewed below.
