Calendar Reminders
2023-24 School Year Calendar
Fri, May 3rd - Orthodox Good Friday
No School for Students - Teacher Work Day
 |
|
Friday, May 3, is Orthodox Good Friday, and a teacher work day. Millions of Orthodox Christians commemorate Good Friday, also known as “Great Friday” to remember the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. There will be no school for students that day |
Sun, May 5th - Orthodox Easter
A joyful Easter to our Orthodox Christian community! Many Orthodox Christians in the U.S. celebrate Easter according to the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, which differs from the Western date we are most familiar with. Easter is a time to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, whom Christians believe to be the Son of God. |

Robinson FBLA Members Achieve Greener Future for Clifton with New Recycling Bin!
 Robinson FBLA members Shaan Agarwal and DK Nguyen completed their FBLA Community Service Project which has positively impacted our community. They worked closely with the Fairfax County Waste Management facilities to get a purple glass recycling bin placed in Clifton, which had no convenient glass recycling locations. They had to go through a series of approvals, ending in meeting with the Clifton Town Council to get approvals for them to allow the placement of the Purple Bin within the town. On Monday, April 29 they were able to participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new recycling station in Clifton. Way to go Shaan and DK!
