Dear Cub Run Families,
We have so much to celebrate at Cub Run!
Earlier this month, our annual Spelling Bee was held. Congratulations to our winner, Abigail James (5th Grade), who will go on to represent Cub Run at the Fairfax County Spelling Bee in March. Our 1st Runner Up was Evan McCabe (6th Grade) and 2nd Runner Up was Ishaan Jain! Many thanks go out to Mrs. Amanda Jain for organizing the event, and staff members Mr. Eric Timpson (pronouncer), Mrs. Tracy Cousino (official scorekeeper), and Mrs. Danielle Brown (judge).
A shout-out to all cubby participants: 2nd Grader Hannah Chang; 3rd Graders Ajas Dongol and Yamin Toure; 4th Graders Eman Ali, Bjorn Kovaci, Cullen Mossberg, Mariam Ouagss, and Nina Belle Quigley; 5th Graders Omar Amiri, Sky Calimlim, Lily Eltringham, Mason Galloway, Lea Garcia, and Moussa Toure; and 6th Graders Kim Alexander, Jude Comegys, Ishaan Jain, Evan McCabe, Elyse Miller, Shiv Negi, Elijah Sun, Joshua Sun, William Ta, and John Tuben. Everyone was so supportive of one another, cheering each other on.
Many thanks to our wonderful PTA for making our staff feel so special on Valentines Day with the chocolate fountain bar!
And finally, I am pleased to announce that our wonderful Building Supervisor, Mr. Jorge Velasquez-Alvarez, has been awarded the Outstanding Operational Employee Award for the Westfield Pyramid! We are so lucky to have him on our staff, and so grateful for his service to Cub Run students, staff, and families!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!
Warm regards,
Natalie Lorenzi

Read Across Cub Run Week
Join us in celebrating reading next week with the following activities!
Naglieri Testing: Grade 1
On Tuesday, March 14th all first graders will take the Naglieri (NNAT3). The NNAT is a nonverbal measure of general intellectual ability. The test evaluates a student’s reasoning and problem-solving skills through the identification of patterns involving geometric shapes and pictorial designs. The test is designed to assess ability without requiring the student to read, write, or speak. The NNAT3 is an abilities test, so children are not expected to study or prepare for the test the way they would for an achievement test.
It is important that your child attend school the day of testing. If possible, please avoid scheduling trips or appointments that would take your child out of school. It is also important that your child has had a good night’s rest and a healthy breakfast before testing.

Message from FCPS Office of Substance Abuse Prevention: Spotlight on Trauma & Coping
It is February and a time when the recognition and promotion of the resilience and contributions of African Americans is celebrated. Historical trauma is critical to understanding black mental health. African Americans have always thrived through the connection of family. There is an intersection between trauma, coping, and substance misuse. Studies show that about 61% of adults have had at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE) according to the CDC. Childhood trauma manifests in many ways and when carried into adulthood, it can create a cycle of adverse experiences that affect future generations.
Trauma prevention and intervention strategies are more important than ever in post-COVID. During the height of the pandemic there were heightened feelings of unsafety, struggles with increased time spent in stressful family environments. Earlier ACEs studies highlighted traumatic events in the household as primary factors leading to future substance abuse, misuse, and lack of feeling safe and secure. Current ACEs studies have expanded the categories of traumatic events to include experiences such as exposure to racism, discrimination, and historical trauma. Effective coping skills or a brilliant strategy increases levels of resilience and feelings of wellbeing.
Coping strategies include:
- Developing healthy relationships (internal and external support)
- Teaching self-regulation skills
- Encouragement
- Increasing self-esteem
- Promoting independence and strength
- Modeling healthy behavior when dealing with difficult situations
- Early intervention and mental health care
