Dear Cardinal Families,

Cunningham Park students kicked off their Summer of Awe with an evening full of curiosity, creativity, and exploration! Students personalized their own Awe Journals, practiced close observation in nature, commissioned their journals with official seals and ribbon bookmarks, and learned to write secret summer goals using a Revolutionary War-era Pig Pen cipher.

The excitement continued as students left ready to document their summer adventures and discoveries. The event concluded with apple chips and patriotic lollipops, celebrating both Virginia’s heritage and our nation's history.

Special Thanks: We are grateful to the Fairfax250 Commission for supporting this program as part of Fairfax County’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Thank you to all the staff, volunteers, and families who helped make this event such a memorable success!

Warmly,

Allison Hoak, Principal

Jon Kemmerer, Assistant Principal
