Lanier Weekly Communication

Fairfax HS Class of 2019 visited for their annual Graduation Walk

From The Principal's Desk

Dear Lanier Community,

About a third of our students are currently at Kings Dominion after performing at a competition.  I know this trip provides a fun opportunity for many of our students and serves as a great capstone for our music program - shout out to Mr. Burts, Ms. Sengstack, Ms. Woodill, Mr. Greata, and all of our volunteers who spend this day keeping our students safe, successful, and having fun!

 

Warm regards,

Tammy Hanna

Principal, Lanier Middle School

Parent of rising 9th graders.  If your son is interested in playing Oakton Football next Fall, please join us at 6:30 PM in the Oakton Library (old Lecture Hall) on Wednesday, June 5th.....Coach Morgan has a lot to cover.   Due to the Construction at Oakton and the uncertainties that come with that, we are extremely sorry for the short notice. Please note that players do NOT need to attend. We are hoping at least one parent per player can be in attendance. We will be discussing the Summer condition schedule.
