Many of our Lees Corner 6th grade band students went to Franklin MS on Jan 26th to collaborate with about 200 elementary students from Greenbriar West, Greenbriar East, Poplar Tree, Oak Hill, Navy, and Brookfield elementary schools along with some Franklin MS, Rocky Run MS and Oakton HS student volunteers. Mrs. Hill helped to facilitate the event with every elementary and middle school band director in the Chantilly pyramid. We are very proud of the work our band students accomplished as they represented Lees Corner. In one day, our students learned three new pieces of music and performed for families in our community. We look forward to next year’s “Chantilly Band Day”!

Kindness Week is to recognize that simple day-to-day acts of kindness enable our schools, communities, and state to be a kinder, safer, healthier and more inclusive place to live, work, learn and play. Practicing and celebrating kindness is to look for the good, bridge connections across differences, restore hope, and empower people to make our communities strong and resilient.
Lees Corner will join in Virginia Kindness Week by promoting and encouraging various acts of kindness for students to participate throughout the week. We will be highlighting these acts of kindness on our morning news show! We also invite students and staff to participate in our school spirit day on Thursday, February 15th, “Kindness Ties us Together” where everyone can wear some type of bow or tie to represent their involvement in spreading kindness.
