She is a member of the National Honor Society, school dance team, an Olweus Program student ambassador, and she volunteers within the community.

• Mr. Tim Healey, associate superintendent for Student Learning and Accountability, and Mr. Thomas Smith, PWC Solid Waste Division Chief, gave a presentation on the PWC Landfill. Mr. Smith stated that a partnership between the Landfill and the School Division would provide educational resources and outdoor learning experiences for students. See PowerPoint.
• Mr. Don Taylor gave a presentation on Windy Knoll, his 90-acre farm in Nokesville. Mr. Taylor stated that he has been working with the Farm Bureau for a few years. The bureau has used the farm for a program for teachers called Ag in the Classroom. He is hoping to open the farm up to more schools in the county to aid students in understanding agriculture-related issues. Since Mr. Taylor uses his own money for educational purposes on his farm, he is hoping the School Board will consider passing a resolution in support of his efforts to protect the land and make it available for education purposes.
