Last year, Mr. Feeley’s class wrote letters to the 119th Squadron, in which his sister is a part of, thanking them for their service for our country. In honor of them and the school, Captain Erin Feeley of the United States Airforce flew a flag for Lutie Lewis Coates Elementary School on a mission overseas! This week, she returned from her deployment and presented them and the school the flag and a certificate stating that the flag flew on a mission. Mr. Feeley's former students were excited to meet someone they wrote letters to and ask her questions about what it is like to serve in the military and thank her for her service!

We are planning to open up a Student Lounge to provide an incentive for some of our students who are recognized for positive behaviors in school. This idea was born out of the Creativity Lab last year when a few students developed a proposal for a “Chill Room”. |
We are outfitting this room w/ some board games, card games, and even video games. If you have any video game consoles (or other games) that you would like to donate, we are very happy to provide you w/ a donation letter for a tax write-off. Please just label the donation with your name and estimated value and bring them into school w/ your child. We will email you a donation letter.
Thanks for helping to support this new initiative!
There will be an annular eclipse on Saturday, October 14. Virginia is not in the direct path of the moon’s shadow, so we will only be able to see a partial eclipse in this region. FCPS has gathered resources for students and families to learn more about the eclipse, and how to view it safely.
Save the date for a more dramatic event! On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total eclipse will be viewable from North America.
