Ms. Stewart Named FCPS Region 1 Outstanding New Principal!
Ms. Danielson, Ms. Yeatras, Ms. Kang, and Ms. Seck Also Recognized at FCPS Honors!
Congratulations to Lake Anne ES Principal Jill Stewart who was recognized at the annual FCPS Honors event as the 2018 Region 1 Outstanding New Principal and one of five finalists for this year's Outstanding New Principal Award!
Principal Stewart wants the community to see her school as a partner in raising well-adjusted and well-equipped children. She encourages Lake Anne staff and families to build strong relationships and sets an example with her involvement. Recently, she supplemented regular monthly parent coffees with a “Cafecito,” complete with translators, to help the school’s large Spanish-speaking population keep in touch. Known for hiring great teachers, Principal Stewart showcases them at events like the “Best of Reston” Awards and empowers them to take risks. “She never shies away from projects that will enhance instruction,” said one.
Congratulations also to the other Lake Anne Elementary School staff members recognized at FCPS Honors!
