A note from Dr. Goodloe

Dear Charger Families,

It has been a whirlwind week at Chantilly full of student recognitions, presentations, and performances. Our Chargers are Leading the CHARGE in all that they do. A few highlights:

  • Student Recognitions: We celebrated the Month of the Military Child this week by connecting with our military affiliated Chargers at a breakfast and Purple Up Spirit Day. We celebrated our third quarter On A Roll student awards by recognizing students who have demonstrated growth in academics, attendance, and engagement in learning. Our Media department was recognized at the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors meeting with their 10th First Amendment Press Freedom Award. And we are capping of the week with Senior Night celebrations for Boys Tennis and Boys Lacrosse this evening,with many more celebrations to come for members of the class of 2024. See more recognitions below!
  • Spotlights on Learning:  Congratulations to our STEP students who shared their career presentations and lessons learned from their job site experiences with their families and staff. Chargers are shining this week showcasing their learning in our spring main stage production, Anything Goes, as well as at the state orchestra solo and ensemble festival and sate choral performances. 
  • Connecting with Community: Thank you to Pohanka Acura for their visit Chantilly Academy to share their generous donation to our Auto Collision Program and Wrestling Team. Our Robotics team members visited with Chantilly Pyramid Principals to make connections for STEM outreach and service with our feeder schools. Please save the date for Pyramid Night for Spring Athletics on April 29. We can't wait to see our future Chargers at Chantilly!

FFN

Chantilly High School is proud to partner with Food For Neighbors (FFN) to help feed our local students who deal with food insecurity because even in counties as wealthy as Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun at least one in four kids in our area are struggling with hunger.

Food for Neighbors is a local organization addressing this problem by collecting food from our community via the Red Bag Program and donating directly to our local schools. The food is then distributed to our students every week through our food pantry.

We hope you will consider participating in the Red Bag food collection program. You can make a difference in a local student’s life by simply adding a few extra items to your shopping cart every 2 months.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Request a reusable Red Bag here and Food For Neighbors will drop it off at your house.
  2. Fill the Red Bag with food items that are listed on a tag on that bag.
  3. Put the Red Bag outside your front door in the morning on the next bag collection day (which is Saturday, April 27th). And don’t worry, they send reminders.

Your Red Bag will be picked up from your house, the food sorted at a local school and delivered directly to the school food pantry at CHS. As an added benefit, you can get a tax deduction for the food that you donate!

With your help, even more kids can be fed. For more information on the Red Bag program click hereCheck out what items FFN collects as they are targeted to ready-made, individually packaged food items that students and teens can eat on-the-go or with little preparation.

The organization also offers volunteer opportunities including Driving to pick up filled Red Bags and Sorting the donated food during the Red Bag Day events. Visit the FFN FAQ page to find out more about and to sign up to volunteer in these 2 very important roles. This is a great way for students to receive community service hours, too.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact ; Nick Thayer nrthayer@fcps.edu (Social Worker), Heather Ellison centrevilleam@foodforneighbors.org (FFN Area Manager) or Karen Joseph Karen@foodforneighbors.org (FFN Executive Director)

Thanks for helping us provide food to students who need that extra support!

Students in all FCPS secondary schools can enroll in the Institute for the Arts. IFTA is a two- or three-week summer Arts enrichment program for students in rising 7th through 12th grades.
