Happy Friday Cedar Lane Community!
What an exciting short week here at Cedar Lane School! The school wide field trip to the National Zoo was awesome! It was great to see kids socialize, connect animals and nature to their learning in classrooms, and be excited to share their experience with staff upon return. I look forward to many more educational experiences this year. We also had a visit from Dr. Michelle Reid, Superintendent of Fairfax County Public Schools. The students and staff were excited she was in the building, and loved spending time with her.
I wish you all a pleasant and relaxing weekend,
Dr. Farrish
