step dancing, a jazz performance, and a judo performance.  Best of all, you
can join other members of our community in celebrating the richness of the
many contributions to our overall community.  The celebration is scheduled

College & Career Planning Night

and elementary school students, there are things you can do now to help your
child make better decisions and have more options regarding their future.

Plan program.  
·     Learn about the wide variety of college and career planning services
provided through the Albemarle County school system and other career
planning resources.
·     Learn how to help your child set goals and learn the skills to be a
valuable worker both in school and beyond.
These sessions will be lead by highly qualified individuals from the
Virginia 529 College Savings Plan, Albemarle County Schools, UVa, CATEC, and
