Have a fun and safe Thanksgiving break!

From our Patriot Family to yours: Have a fun and safe Thanksgiving break! 🍁🍛 We are so thankful for our students and staff! See you on Monday. 🌟#GobbleTillYouWobble

Success leaves clues and our students continue to set the bar high for themselves. They are faithful leaders and humble servants who excel in academics, the arts, athletics, and help lead our school culture as Champions for Christ.

So, we devote time each Friday to acknowledge that their hard work is preparing them to impact our world. Join us in congratulating the senior class on the college acceptances they are receiving.

We are proud of our #VAA #seniorclassof2021. #collegebound #careerready #theverybest #classof2021 #vaaclassof2021 #sharethegoodnews

Our NHS upper school food drive is underway ahead of a blessed season of giving! We are hosting a food drive for Thanksgiving meals for Loudoun Hunger Relief from Monday, November 9th-Friday, November 13th. Our goal is to package 35 full meals! Donation bins will be in the auditorium and in light of the changes relative to upper school, you can still drop off donations anytime during school hours. We are requesting specific items form each grade level. Please review the email from the #VAAexecutiveoffice sent November 5th for the list.

Hey Upper School! Here’s our verse of the week! 👇
