Staff Appreciation

Come Celebrate Our Staff

When: Monday May 3rd. 12:00-1:00 pm

Where: Anywhere on Powells Tavern

Why: Because our Teachers and Staff are amazing and have done so much this year. Its time to show them how much we appreciate them. Let's get out with our signs, banners, and kids and let's wave and cheer them on as they drive through the kiss and ride loop to pick up a special lunch on us. 

Please wear masks and remain socially distant. These layered prevention strategies are important in keeping each other well and our students in school.

Thank you for your support in celebrating Dranesville staff and for joining us to say the many thanks that our staff deserve after an overwhelmingly different year.
