The fall season at Fort Belvoir is filled with an array of vibrant events that bring our community together. One of the most anticipated occasions is Oktoberfest, a beloved tradition that our students, families, and staff eagerly look forward to each year. This year’s event was nothing short of spectacular, with a fantastic turnout from our school community. COL Stewart, our Garrison Commander, kicked off the festivities with an inspiring speech, setting the tone for an evening that was brimming with fun, laughter, and camaraderie. The joy in the air was palpable as everyone joined in to celebrate.
I was particularly honored to share the evening with the extraordinary women of the Prince William, Virginia Chapter of Gold Star Wives of America. These ladies are a true inspiration, as they carry forward the legacy of their late spouses with grace and resilience. Their commitment to remembering and honoring their loved ones is a testament to the strength and unity of our military community. Sitting with them was a humbling reminder of the sacrifices made by so many, and it reinforced the importance of coming together to celebrate, support, and uplift one another.
Together we are and will continue to be Fort Belvoir strong!

To ensure we have enough food for everyone, we kindly ask that families bring a delicious Hispanic dish to share.
This event is also a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with one another, particularly here on the military base (Fort Belvoir), where many students attend Fort Belvoir Primary. We look forward to celebrating together and hope to see you there!
