A Community of Kindness:

This holiday season, CFNC has been positively overwhelmed by the spirit of giving in the Northern Virginia Community. It has taken over hallways, offices, classrooms and put smiles and wonderment (at times chocolate, glitter and reindeer antlers!) on the faces of CFNC's nearly 200 students.



Students kicked off the season with holiday parties coordinated by employees of local businesses. Health Central, McKinley Marketing, Elizabeth Lucchesi and the LizLuke Team, Dominion VA Power and A+ Government Solutions entertained students with arts & crafts projects, story-telling, cupcake decorating, hat making, pizza and even a game of pin the carrot nose on the snowman. Each party was a joyous and festive occasion and we are grateful to everyone involved for their creativity, generosity and for taking the time to celebrate with our students.



Additionally, churches, businesses and individuals brought holiday magic to each of CFNC's families by purchasing gifts for all. CFNC families completed a wish list and, more often than not, found each and every item requested wrapped and delivered to their child's class. From bikes, to clothing, kitchen supplies and even bunk beds--delivered in moving vans, wrapped and labeled--the generosity was astonishing. A huge thanks to the local church groups, the individuals and businesses who worked very hard to adopt a CFNC family, ensuring for each one a festive holiday.
