CALENDAR EVENTS
 Purple Up Day Wednesday, April 17
April is the month of the military child and let’s celebrate and honor our military connected families and students by wearing purple on Wednesday, April 17th. As April unfolds, the spotlight shines brightly on our military-connected youth as Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) and communities come together to celebrate the Month of the Military Child (MOMC). Amidst the challenges and sacrifices inherent with the military lifestyle, children of service members show their unwavering support for their parents and guardians as they stand as pillars of resilience, adapting to change, and embracing diversity. Their commitment to supporting their service member(s) deserves not just recognition, but celebration. One of the most visible displays of support for military-connected youth occurs on Purple Up! Day, a day dedicated to showing appreciation by wearing purple – to represent the combined colors of branches of the military. Please join FCPS for Purple Up! Day on April 17, 2024, as we proudly wear purple as a sign of our appreciation.

Stress-Less Admissions: Navigating the College Journey with Your Sanity Intact
“Best” school or best fit? Big, medium, or a small-sized campus? Public or private? Guiding your child through the college admissions process can be daunting; learning how to dial down the stress is key. The Safe Community Coalition is excited to host The New York Times best-selling author and journalist, Jeff Selingo, on Monday, April 29, at 7pm, at the McLean Community Center’s Alden Theatre. Well known for his years of experience monitoring and researching the higher-education industry, Jeff will share his insights on current trends in college admissions and offer advice to optimize the journey.
Joining Jeff are co-moderators, Dr. Heather Tedesco, McLean Psychologist and co-author of Raising a Kid Who Can, and Hannah Wolff, Associate Director of College Counseling at Georgetown Preparatory School. With Mr. Selingo’s insight on college admissions, Ms. Wolff’s experience working with students and their families throughout the application process and Dr. Tedesco’s understanding of family relationships and the mental health challenges facing our teens – this is a program you won’t want to miss!
Advance ticket price is $15 online and $20 at the door and can be purchased at www.mcleanscc.org. Space is limited and tickets will likely sell out, so don’t delay! A Q&A session will immediately follow the program.
This program is sponsored by the Safe Community Coalition in partnership with the McLean Community Center (1234 Ingleside Ave., McLean, VA).
