Recognitions
Thank you to Freshman Graceyn Jones for organizing a therapy dog program at Chantilly HS this week. Approximately 280 students, along with 7 dogs and 7 handlers from Canine Caring Angels, had a chance to interact during the day. Students enjoyed playing with dogs of all ages and sizes.

Recent Student Successes
This is the next installment for the school year of what has become a weekly segment aimed at recognizing students for demonstrating recent improvement or achievement in academics, behavior or citizenship. At the end of each recognition, you will see the name of the nominating teacher or staff member. On a rotating basis, departments will nominate students. I meet with recognized students each week to congratulate them in person.
