Deer Park Special Olympics
Deer Park Special Olympics encourages building strong, cohesive, and inclusive communities by acting as a convening power to drive positive attitudinal and behavioral change toward people with disabilities and strengthening the fabric of society. This year, we are aiming for more involvement with the planning of our first Special Olympics Field Day to be held at Deer Park. This event will be held on June 1, 2020. We currently have over 45 mentors who are matched to over 25 athletes! In order to make this field event a success, we need support.
Our event requires equipment, t-shirts, volunteers for setup, coordination and cleanup. Would you consider supporting us? Please consider supporting us as we want our students with disabilities to know that like you, they can achieve anything, do anything, be anything!
Please contact Serena Mui at smui@fcps.edu or (703) 802 – 5000.
Thanks ahead for your support!

Artist Spotlight
In the month of December, there is beauty all around us! Poinsettias are a beautiful plant that we see everywhere right now but for most of us, we never really stop to look at or admire the beauty. In art we have a tradition the last few weeks before winter break. We stop and observe the beauty of the poinsettias to create art from life. This is no easy task… drawing from observation can be difficult and frustrating. Yet the smile on this artist’s face says it all! Makai Dixon persevered through the challenges to create this amazing poinsettia still life drawing! In the end, Makai’s drawing proved a little focus, a lot of hard work, and some persistence gives us a sense of pride for a job well done!! Keep up the GREAT work Makai!

A Big Thank you to our Boy Scout Troop 1995 and Mr. Aaron Smallwood for their service project of laying stepping stones in our Kiss and Ride area. This is an awesome improvement for our students.
We are looking for a community member with construction contacts to do the same work on the other side of the grassy area. If you are able to help, please contact the office @ 703-802-5000. Thank you!
