Dear Cub Run Families,
What a week we've had at Cub Run! We headed into the weekend last Friday with the annual Cub Run vs. Virginia Run volleyball match at Westfield High School. We played several rounds of games between staff and between students, and fun was had by all! I'm so proud of our cubbies for their efforts, their cheer, and their sportsmanship. Many thanks to families and staff for coming out to cheer us on! The sense of community was palpable, and we're already looking forward to next year's rematch.
 ~
On Sunday, March 26, over 600 sixth graders from 101 schools across the county gathered at Lake Braddock Secondary School for the All-County Chorus concert. Two of our very own cubbies participated in this incredible event, Zaina Abu-Taa and Izzy Combs! I was blown away by the talent and passion that this group shared with those of us in the audience. We are so thankful to our music teachers, Ms. Kristi Shultz, Ms. Millie Kieley, and Ms. Jennifer Weingartner for their dedication in bringing music into our lives.
 ~
And finally, this evening, I visited the Westfield Pyramid Art Show, where many of our cubbies had works of art on display. The variety of art media used to express emotions, ideas, and concepts was truly amazing to see. Congratulations to our cubbies whose art was chosen for this very special event, and kudos to Cub Run's art teacher, Ms. Cindy Brock, for cultivating a love of art in our cubbies every day!
 ~
A reminder that the school office will be closed next week for Spring Break, and our weekly News You Choose newsletter will also be on hiatus. I hope you have a wonderful week!
Warmly,
Natalie Lorenzi
Principal

Understanding Virginia Growth Assessment (VGA) Reports
Grade 3-8 students across Virginia took VGA tests in fall and winter of 2022-23. FCPS mailed score reports to families earlier this month that combine Fall and Winter results. When viewing students’ scores, it is important to keep in mind that there is no “passing” or “failing” for VGA tests and that each vertical scaled score reflects performance on a single day. VGA results should be used alongside other available data for a more complete picture of students’ academic progress. Also keep in mind that the VGA asks questions from the entire curriculum, including some standards that will not be taught until later in the school year.
The FCPS VGA Score Reports webpage now includes a section on Understanding VGA Results, featuring Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ). This section will continue to be updated throughout the spring to address incoming questions and to reflect additional state guidance as it is released.

Spring 2023 SOL Schedule
Below is the Cub Run Spring Standards of Learning (SOL) dates for students in grades 3-6. Please be sure that your student is well rested and in school for their scheduled assessments.
AAP Spring Newsletter: Screening for Subject-Specific and Part-Time Service
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is committed to challenging all students through talent development and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of advanced learners. Students may be screened for subject-specific and part-time AAP services at any time in the school year. However, in the spring, schools review data on all students to determine services for the start of the next school year. Because all students are screened in the spring, it is not necessary to submit a referral form. Families will be notified of eligibility of newly-identified, part-time services during the second week of June.
To learn more, please access the Newsletter here or contact Cub Run's Advanced Academic Resources Teacher (AART), Mrs. Val Sesso at vmsesso@fcps.edu.

March Madness: A Message from the FCPS Substance Abuse Specialist
What is binge drinking?
Binge drinking refers to consuming a large amount of alcohol quickly. It’s a practice that pushes up blood alcohol levels fast. For men, binge drinking is typically five or more drinks in two hours. Women reach a blood alcohol level of .08 or more with four drinks in two hours or less.
Why is binge drinking risky?
Teenagers who binge-drink even once are at higher risk of: getting alcohol poisoning. not being able to look after themselves while drunk. taking dangerous risks and having accidents – for example, being killed on the road while walking home drunk.
What can you do to help stop?
