School Board Meeting

The Commonwealth Educational Policy Institute (CEPI) will present  
results of the Resource Utilization Study to the School Board for the  
first time on Thursday, Dec. 6. The CEPI team will present the report  
during the School Board meeting in the Albemarle County Office  
Building-McIntire in Lane Auditorium at 7:15 p.m.

The comprehensive study was conducted with the intent of identifying  
ways the School Division can improve use of resources to help achieve  
the strategic plan. The CEPI team reviewed financial, human,  
programmatic, facility and other resources during the past few months  
and has prepared a report and recommendations. The presentation to  
the School Board on Thursday is informational and no decisions will  
be made on recommendations. There will be a process for studying the  
recommendations before the School Board acts upon them.

The Resource Utilization Study is expected to help develop a planned,  
organized and systemic approach to applying the School Division  
resources in the most effective way to accomplish the Division mission.

SCA Canned Food Drive

The SCA collected 4,445 cans!!  Local families in need were invited  
to come to Henley and take some of those 4,445 cans.  The remainder  
of cans will be given to a local food bank.

Extreme Journey Through Hallowed Ground High School Camp (Middle  
School Camp Information Coming Soon!)

The Journey Through Hallowed Ground is a trip along Route 15/20 from  
Gettysburg in Pennsylvania to Monticello in Charlottesville Virginia.  
Explore historic places on and near this historic route, the Old  
Carolina Road, a scenic and historically rich landscape that has  
"soaked up more of the blood, sweat, and tears of American history  
than any other part of the country," according to the late historian  
C. Vann Woodward.
The Journey Through Hallowed Ground (JTHG) is dedicated to sharing  
the story of our American heritage with students within the Journey's  
region and across the nation. This is the birthplace of many of our  
nation's leaders, and it is our goal to share their stories and  
contibutions with students of all ages.

JTHG along with the University of Virginia SEP program is excited to  
announce the first annual Extreme Journey High School Camp for rising  
ninth through eleventh graders. The dates for the residential camp  
are June 22 - July 3. (Full scholarships are available.)


Bike the C&O canal, hike Harpers Ferry, canoe Ball’s Bluff and travel  
back in time to Montpelier, Monticello, Ash Lawn and Dodona Manor  
guided by historical experts and writings from our nation’s most  
revered leaders
Residential program at the University of Virginia that promises  
academic challenge as students develop leadership and critical  
thinking skills.
Use technology including i-Pods, digital and video cameras and movie  
making software to develop original vodcasts.

information.
