Marcia’s Message
The past several weeks have been full, productive, and deeply inspiring across the Franconia District. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue engaging with students, families, educators, and community partners as we work together to strengthen our schools and our broader community.
Since the last newsletter I have participated in Governance Committee meetings, Regular School Board Meeting, the SCYPT Meeting, the MSAOC Meeting, a Joint Budget Hearing, All-Day Work Sessions, and the Public Hearing on the FY 2027 Proposed Budget. These meetings reflect our ongoing commitment to transparency, thoughtful planning, and ensuring that every decision keeps students at the center while honoring our responsibility to the community.
It was also a joy to see student leadership in action during the School Board Student Leadership Development Program and to witness inclusion and opportunity at the Adaptive Baseball Camp at TJHSST. These moments remind us that when we invest in young people, we invest in a stronger future for all.
February, though the shortest month of the year, was filled with meaningful reflection and celebration. As we observed Valentine’s Day, we were reminded to lead with compassion and kindness. During Black History Month, we honored the strides of civil rights leaders whose courage and sacrifice continue to shape our nation.
|
In the Franconia District, we were fortunate to host extraordinary activist Dolores Huerta, who was a contemporary of leaders reminiscent of Coretta Scott King, Jesse Jackson, and John R. Lewis whose messages echoed the spirit of — calling us to action, unity, and service. |
|
 |
 |
|
At Lewis High School, students had the opportunity to hear directly from Ms. Huerta as she encouraged them to take charge of their future, use their voices, and recognize their power to create change. Her message to students was clear: leadership is not reserved for a select few, it belongs to those willing to stand up, speak out, and organize for what is right. I spoke with Ms. Huerta after an amazing day at Lewis and she was encouraged to take part in the Lewis Student Leadership Program, it reminded her of what it means to start “Good Trouble”. |
 |
Supervisor Rodney Lusk gave a tour of the transformative WISH Center to Ms. Huerta. I am deeply honored to have worked alongside him and community leaders to host a Meet and Greet after the tour at the Hybla Valley Community Center. Ms. Huerta, who coined the powerful rallying cry “Sí Se Puede” — “Yes We Can” — has shaped generations of leaders through her unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and community empowerment. To welcome her into our community was more than an event; it was a moment of intergenerational connection, civic engagement, and collective inspiration.
Her presence reminded us that real change is built through courage, organized action, and a deep belief in the power of everyday people. It was especially meaningful to create a space where young leaders, families, and community members could hear directly from someone whose legacy continues to influence movements across the nation.
This collaboration reflects what is possible when local leadership, community organizations, and public servants come together with shared purpose. “Sí Se Puede” is not just a slogan, it is a responsibility we carry forward in our work every day.
Grateful for the partnership. Grateful for the wisdom shared. And grateful to continue building communities where every voice matters.
It is a privilege to serve you, and I remain committed to advancing excellence, equity, and opportunity for every student and every family in our district.
Best Regards,
|

Linneall Naylor: Discovering Her Ancestors and Sharing Their Stories
For decades people have been exploring their family history through genealogical research, but when mail-in DNA ancestry test kits were introduced over 20 years ago, everything changed. Test results often upended what people thought they knew about themselves and their family history. For Linneall Naylor, getting the results of her DNA test 10 years ago was life-changing, revealing surprising ancestry, previously unknown family connections, and deep roots in Virginia, especially in Fairfax County. Her results put her on a path of research and discovery, igniting a passion to uncover her family history and share the stories of her ancestors. Learn more about Linneall Naylor and her search for her ancestors in the February issue of the Golden Gazette.
