A Fond Farewell

The Flint Hill community wishes Shawn Atkins, Administrative Assistant, the very best as she continues her professional journey at Louise Archer Elementary School. While she will be missed here, she will always be a part of the Flint Hill family. Shawn worked at Flint Hill for 30 years, a true celebration of commitment to education and Fairfax County Public Schools.

Shawn was honored on Friday morning during a staff celebration. Thank you, Shawn!
