(Nov. 15, 2012) - Ashburn Elementary celebrated its 20th anniversary with a colossal birthday party for 500 students, staff members and families last month.
The party ranged throughout the school’s playground, cafeteria and multi-purpose room.
Guests were served piles of pizzas, drinks and slices from massive birthday cakes. Games and obstacle courses were created outside while inside everyone was drawn to the dance floor by deejay Frank White (a fifth grade teacher).
The event closed with a special audio-visual presentation saluting Ashburn Elementary’s 20 years of achievement and a special remembrance of the school’s first principal, Laurie McDonald, who lost her battle with cancer in 2010.
Students and staff members from years past joined the current school community in celebrating Ashburn’s special milestone. Former Ashburn Elementary Assistant
Principal Matthew Greathouse, who served the school for a decade, ended the program with an emotional good-bye to a very appreciative audience.
“This was a truly fun event that brought our community together,” said Ashburn Elementary Principal Michelle A. Walthour. “Ashburn Elementary celebrated our 20th anniversary by recognizing our successful past and highlighting our recent accomplishments. We now look forward to a successful future with great anticipation.”
Ashburn Elementary was listed in the August edition of Northern Virginia magazine as among the top 25 percent for academics in Northern Virginia.
