Walk to school

 

Walk to School Day Part 2 - Great turnout this morning for our Walk to School event. So glad so many students and families could walk with us from the park to school. What a great start to a Friday.


A Message from the Principal


Dear Centre Ridge Families,

As we enter into the final few weeks of school, and the weather gets warmer, it is important to remember to make sure your student has the appropriate clothing on each day for the weather.  

SOL testing is in full swing, so please remember to try and avoid appointments during your student’s SOL testing day if possible. Also, it is important for all of our students to get a good night’s rest before the test. The schedule for SOL testing days is posted below.  Please refer to it if you have not seen the schedule yet.

Centreville High School Event to Fight Cancer

The CVHS Wildcats vs. Cancer Club is proud to be hosting the 3rd Annual Festival to Fight Cancer on Saturday, May 18th from 8 AM-11 AM at Centreville High School (6001 Union Mill Rd, Clifton, VA 20124). This year's festival will feature a 1-mile fun run/race and highlight an inflatable obstacle course to go with our theme to "Wipe Out" childhood cancer. The festival will also include a selfie station (with special guest Ryan McElveen), vendors, raffle prize drawings, game stations, food, and more! This year's proceeds will be going to the DC Candlelighters (http://www.dccandlelighters.org/), a non-profit organization that emotionally, educationally, and financially supports families affected by pediatric cancer. 

Rising 4th grade and up students can continue on their band or strings instruments or start a new one at this month-long day camp. Registration is only $275, and includes a t-shirt and instruction by some of the best teachers in the county (including Ms. Henry and Ms. Kropaczek!) as well as a final concert.

Tickets for the event are $20 and can be purchased here: tinyurl.com/FTFC2019
