[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son went to Lemon road several years ago.  He is now in HS.  They do go to Jamestown/Williamsburg/Yorktown in 4th grade - that is a Fairfax wide field trip.  I can't help but think that the culture will change since there is a new Principal and LR will have grown 50%-100% in two years.  It doesn't mean that the culture will be better or worse, but it will be different.  It will no longer be a small school with very small class sizes.  It was an anomoly in this part of the county and its time has past - the stresses of a growing system are ensuring it.

I think the potential is there to create a wonderful learning environment that reflects its past but also embraces the new.  It will take people being open to change and to new ways of doings things (both the older Lemon Road community and the new Lemon Road community).  I hope people come willing to maintain some traditions and also come to start some new ones.  Give people the benefit of the doubt, assume the best in people, take on a few tasks that no one traditionally wants to do.  If you want something to happen, volunteer to lead or co-lead it.  Don't say, "at my old school,....."  Don't say, "This is the way we have always done .......  I am sure there will be growing pains and something will fall through the cracks - if does - be helpful.  :) [/quote]

Jamestown is not countywide. This is the first year that fourth graders at Shrevewood have gone. I am happy to hear that Lemon Road participates. [/quote]
