RESTON, VA — Students at South Lakes High School are selling a 2027 calendar featuring photographs of Reston's nature and wildlife to raise money for a new public art installation planned for the Lake Thoreau spillway.

The school's STEAM Team, which creates public artwork throughout Reston, launched the calendar to help pay for materials needed for its next sculpture, according to a news release from Public Art Reston.

The calendar features photographs taken by Mary Prochnow, a longtime Reston resident and photographer who contributed her images to support the students' project.
