Welcome Back, friends! We hope everyone has a great school year! The PTA had so much fun kicking it off at our Back to School party…. we decided to just keep going with an awesome slate of events lined up this year. Take a look below for info and registration!
September 6th PTA Meeting
Our first PTA meeting of the year will be held on Wednesday, September 6th at 7 p.m. in the Dranesville library. We hope to see you all there!
 Dragon Runners
A running program for 3rd-6th graders, the fall session of Dragon Runners will run Tuesdays & Thursdays from 4:15 – 5:30 p.m. from September 12 – November 28, 2023.
This exciting program is aimed at strengthening students in body and spirit by combining group activities with running. It’s mission is to encourage students to live their full potential by inspiring healthy friend, family, and community relationships, as well as to develop strength and endurance in the sport of running. It is our hope that students will develop a life-long passion for physical fitness as well as friendships along the way.
