The fifth-graders in teacher Holly Darling’sclass at Centreville Elementary alwaysknew they were extraordinary. But now,

the whole country does, too.They were one of four classes from throughout

the U.S. that won a trip to Universal Studios inOrlando, Fla., to attend the June 18 grand open-

ing of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter themepark. To do so, they had to make a video explain-ing why they’re extraordinary.

“We’re so excited, we can hardly stand it,” saidDarling, after hearing the news. “The kids arethrilled.”

In March, parent Maria Stewart learned aboutthe contest on the “TODAY” show; “TODAY” andUniversal Studios were sponsoring the trips. Ulti-mately, Darling’s students were selected from morethan 1,000 entrants — but first came lots of work.

“I told them, if we enter, we do it as a team andeveryone has to contribute something to make thissuccessful,” said Darling. “My students are verytalented. Some sing, dance or play sports, some

are extremely artistic, some likeplaying with Legos and manipu-lating things, some play piano andtwo are drummers who composetheir own music.”

They began work in April andspent two weeks on the project. “Itold them, ‘This is a reflection ofyou,’ and they worked so hard onit,” said Darling. “Some kids camein at 7:30 in the morning and oth-ers stayed ’til 6 at night. They re-ally cared about it and were sodedicated.” They built a 5x4-footbulletin board and covered it withhand-drawn, Harry Potter-relateditems, including dragons, a phoe-nix, lightning bolts and theHogwarts castle, and drew traintracks all around it for the border.They also decorated another bul-letin board devoted to quidditch,the sport Harry Potter plays on aflying broomstick.

“These kids were downright fa-natical about getting everythingperfect,” said Darling. “I’ve neverseen more rulers, protractors andcompasses come out.”

Other students constructed theentire, Hogwarts castle out ofLegos, about 2x2-feet and 8 inchestall. They also built another castleout of cardboard and felt and useddiet Coke and Mentos in a cylin-der to set off a volcanic eruption.

“They knew there’d be fireworksat Universal and they tried to cre-ate that atmosphere, too,” saidDarling. “When you let kids usetheir imaginations, it’s amazingwhat they can come up with.”

The students also had to submita 3-minute video on what madetheir class extraordinary, so theydid so by writing and performinga rap song. “I’d just finished teach-ing them a unit on poetry, so mytwo drummers came up with abeat and the entire class wrote thelyrics. They played a variety of in-struments and teacher SteveThorne recorded them. ThenStewart’s daughter Cameron, inDarling’s class, took all the filmclips they’d made while workingon the project and incorporatedthem into the video.

Their song explains that they’reextraordinary because of theirabilities, plus good citizenship.Said Darling: “They did a walk forthe homeless, they read and playwith autistic children in the school,and they’re reading buddies to sec-ond-graders who look up to them.We study and discuss currentevents, and I teach them to thinka little deeper, have empathy, helpothers, have opinions and be ableto back them up.” She called her28 students — who come from 13different countries and speak ninedifferent languages — “just thecoolest kids on earth. I absolutely

love them. If you give them an as-signment, they work incrediblyhard. They also love to read anddo math problems. They’re a re-ally unique bunch of kids — wecall ourselves ‘The House of Nerds’because they really love learning.The more I challenge them, themore they’ll ask to be challenged.”

Jenna Frisby, 11, worked on thequidditch bulletin board andhelped write the song. “It was aneat experience,” she said. “I gotto know my classmates well andwork with them in different ways.When I saw the video, I thoughtwe had a pretty good chance; butwhen I heard over 1,000 schoolswere entered, my hopes droppeda bit. So we were so excited to beone of the winners.”

Jenna said her class is special be-cause of its diversity. “We all haveunique talents and, when we putthem all together in the video, wemade a good outcome,” she said.In Orlando, she was “looking for-ward to being one of the firstpeople to go into this park andriding rollercoasters with some ofmy close friends.”

Cameron Stewart, 12, got tipsfrom her mom on using iMovieHD, a computer program thathelps people make movies. Hermom had filmed the studentsworking on the project, and thenCameron helped create the videoand “put the music with the pic-tures.” Then Thorne readied thesong and Darling’s commentsabout the class for insertion intothe computer program. He thenturned it all into a CD they coulddownload.

“It was fun creating the rapsong, making the bulletin boardsand seeing the castle [takeshape],” said Cameron. “It wasone, extraordinary experience. I’mmost looking forward to meeting[“Harry Potter” author] J.K.Rowling. When we heard we weregoing, we all had happy tears; itwas just out of this world.”

Among other things, HridhayRangaraju, 11, played viola for the

song and created the volcano. “Itwas really cool,” he said. “I madeit out of plaster of Paris and news-papers and then painted it. I put asoda bottle inside and droppedMentos in, and the carbon diox-ide in the soda mixed with thechemicals in the Mentos to causea reaction.”

He said his class’s many differ-ent cultures, languages and reli-gions make it fun and interestingto interact with the other students.“Another reason we’re extraordi-nary is because of the effort we putinto everything we do,” saidHridhay. “We’re all winners for get-ting past this contest’s finals. Wetried super hard and pulled it alltogether.”

When the winners were an-nounced, he said, “We were all inthe library on national TV and thesuspense was killing us. Then westarted screaming and crying forjoy that we’d have this great op-portunity.” Hridhay planned to “goon every ’coaster and into everypool.”

Brian Pham, 11, was in chargeof the Harry Potter bulletin boardand played piano on the video. “Ithought it was a cool project; myfavorite part was drawing thingsfor the bulletin board,” he said.“I’m on the seventh Harry Potternovel now. Usually, it’s hard towrite sequels, but J.K. Rowlingwrote six and they’re all interest-ing; you want to know what hap-pens next.”

He and his classmates have beentogether three years. “Sometimeswe have problems, but we workthem out and, next day, we’re play-ing together,” he said. “We workedso hard on this project, we thoughtwe deserved to win. But even ifwe lost, we were going to have acelebration.”

And celebrate they did — June17-19, at the new, theme park.Said Darling: “All the students,teachers , and chaperones had atruly extraordinary time visitingthe Wizarding World of Harry Pot-ter.”

SOUTHERN EDITION

The possible closing of Clifton El-ementary, apparently because it “isgoing to be a very expensive schoolto renovate,” is causing outrage

amongst people with and without school-agedchildren in the Clifton area.

More expensive than what? The specifics ofalternatives, in this case and others, are oftenunavailable to the people who will be affectedby such actions by Fairfax County Pub-lic Schools.

Small community-based elementaryschools serve many purposes, benefitchildren and families and do in fact foster asense of community. The pushback isn’t sur-prising, and is probably inevitable.

But what makes the proposed closing ofClifton Elementary similar to the ending ofother programs and closing of other facilitiesis the lack of hard information shared with thepublic about the benefits and alternatives in

Fairfax County.Consider the closing of Pimmit Alternative

School, which will ostensibly save $1 millionannually in at $2 billion budget. What will thecosts be of having the students served byPimmitt go elsewhere? What of those adultstudents who will not be able to travel to oneof the other alternative schools and conse-quently might go without a high school di-

ploma? Are some of these people morelikely to need public assistance? Lesslikely to make a good salary that al-lows them to contribute to the local

economy?Or the elimination of Project Excel to be sure

that all the schools with a large population ofpoor students get something, but now no oneseems to be sure exactly who will be gettingwhat.

Or the elimination of a “modified calendar”(year-round school) in several elementary

schools that has been associated with betterstudent performance. Exactly what will thatsave? Enough to offset the fact that the schoolswith a modified calendar tend to have a higherpopulation of students who will need servicesover the summer in any event?

And now it turns out that the plan for clos-ing Clifton Elementary that has been the un-derlying assumption for more than a year(building a new, bigger school on the LibertyMiddle School site) is being scrapped, mean-ing that students might be divided up amongstseveral different elementary schools. What willthat cost? Will those schools need additions?We don’t know.

As a result it’s hard to have confidence inthe pronouncement that keeping the schoolopen is too expensive.

That might be true, but more expensive thanwhat? If staff and school board can’t answerthat question, how did they consider the alter-natives and costs?

Support andCompassionTo the Editor:

The Remembrance Cabaret weheld on June 5 at Westfield HighSchool was a beautiful occasionfor so many talented people toshine and to show their love of artin their own unique way. Every actand performance radiated a mes-sage of support and compassion.The community’s generosity thatwas poured into the Silent Auctionwas not only a testimony of sup-port for the young artists, but alsoa sign of trust that Reema’s fundswill benefit the youth in our com-munity.

There was a unity that wrappedeveryone together from behind thescene to the stage to the audienceand into the halls. The energy thatthe performers and volunteers putinto the show in honor of Reemawas the connecting force. Lovewas in the air; it was soft and com-forting. It made our hearts poundto the music and feel so wide openthat it bound us all together intoone soft melody. What a perfectway to remember and to honor ourbeautiful Reema.

We would like to thank Ashleyand Phoebe Dillard and MeredithMurgia, who organized and pro-duced a wonderful show and si-lent auction. Without their vision,time and energy, we could nothave been so successful.

We also owe a special thank youto Westfield High School, its prin-cipal, Tim Thomas; Director ofStudent Activities Terri Towle, and

Assistant Director of Student Ac-tivities Nina Lord, for their con-stant support and role in allowingus to hold the Cabaret inWestfield’s auditorium. Includedin this thank you are the TheaterBoosters, who enthusiasticallyhelp us with their organizationand talent, particularly, ChrisHobbs, Mary Nelms and LoriKnickbocker.

We want to acknowledge ourterrific performers, who so will-ingly gave of their time and talentto host and perform dances, skitsand songs. Our performers in-cluded students from Westfieldand Herndon High Schools andVirginia Tech, alumni and faculty.Their professional performancesawed us.

We could not have held thisCabaret, nor the Concert forReema and Erin Peterson’s concertheld in April, without Lu AnnMcNabb and our many friends andneighbors volunteering their timeto donate baked goods, beverages,candy and chips or working at oneor both events. You have beenthere with us all these years andwe love you.

We would like to thank the won-derful students and adults whoprovided us with technical assis-tance and to Scott Nurmi for vid-eotaping our show.

Gillian Ginter, from the firstWestfield graduating class, de-signed our beautiful poster andprogram cover. Thank you for find-ing another picture of Reema thatwe will always cherish.

We are grateful to FranklinPrinting who donated their ser-

vices printing our beautiful pro-gram produced as always by LoriKnickerbocker. We are also grate-ful to Texas Roadhouse who do-nated 10 percent of their proceedsto benefit Angel Fund.

Last, we would like to recognizeBonnie Hobbs for her constantcare of the community. She writeswonderful articles like she did forour Remembrance Cabaret andconcert benefiting the scholarshipsfor Reema and Erin Peterson.

We also appreciate DeborahCobb for photographing our Caba-ret.

Please know that we feel yourlove and comfort every day be-cause of the many notes, letters,cards and gestures many of youshow us. It makes our journey alittle lighter.

Impact on ManyCommunitiesTo the Editor:

The current deliberation aboutclosing Clifton Elementary School(CES) has been broadly painted asa struggle for a small communityto save its identity — with the fo-cus on how a decision will impactClifton. However, the closure ofCES will be felt by communitiesfrom Lee’s Corner to Silverbrookand most of those communities donot know about the very real po-tential of closing CES or why it isrelevant to them. The closure ofCES is the tip of the proverbial ice-

berg and the real mass of the is-sue lies below the surface — thedisruption of elementary, middle,and high school attendance areasfor thousands of families. That re-districting plan is to be addressedonly when the decision to closeClifton is made — too late to useCES as part of a broader solution.

The Fairfax County SchoolBoard anticipates overcrowding inLees Corner, Waples Mill, Provi-dence, Greenbriar East, GreenbriarWest, Eagle View, Powell, Bull Run,and London Towne elementaryschools by the 2015-2016 schoolyear. The Board’s preferred strat-egy for addressing this overcrowd-ing is to build a new school withinthe Southwestern Region. One ofthe challenges the Board faceswith the construction of a newschool is site selection. One sitethat has been deemed highly de-sirable by the Board is a large plotof land at Liberty Middle School.It seems that this site meets manyof the requirements for a new el-ementary school and is of particu-lar interest to the Board becauseit is a plot of land already ownedby the Fairfax County PublicSchool system — a “bird in hand.”This location is not without issues,however. First and foremost, theLiberty Middle School site is notnear the anticipated overcrowd-ing. If a new elementary school isbuilt at this location, a massiveboundary study will be required —one that may include up to 28 el-ementary schools. Secondly, thelocation will add more congestiononto Union Mill Road, a high traf

fic area that already supports the com-munity of Little Rocky Run, a shopping mall,a middle school, and a high school. Finally,it has recently come to light that there isnaturally occurring asbestos at the plannedsite. The containment and treatment of theconstruction site could add over a milliondollars to the cost of the school (which wasnot included in any initial estimates). Fi-nally, the implications of undertaking suchan endeavor in close proximity to an exist-ing middle school has been neither exploredby the Board nor open for public discussion.

How could the Board justify the construc-tion of a new school at such a site giventhese limitations without seriously explor-ing other options (e.g., another location oradditions to existing schools)? It is simple.CES is within three miles of the LibertyMiddle School site and the Board has linkedthe closure of CES to the construction of anew elementary school. A boundary studyto assess the impact of a new school at theLiberty Middle School site will not be initi-ated until a decision about closing Cliftonhas been made. It is difficult to predictwhich elementary schools will be affected,but some conclusions can be made basedon the building utilization studies con-ducted by the Board.

CES currently has 366 students and theplanned elementary school will supportbetween 500-750 students. It is very un-likely that all of the students currently at-tending CES will be moved to the new

school because of the vast size of Cliftonand the nature of the roads. A more likelyoutcome is that some of the students willbe sent to Sangster Elementary School giventhe Board’s projection that Sangster will rununder capacity and Sangster is much closerthan the proposed new elementary school.This leads to a situation where not only willthe rest of the students from Clifton bemoved to the new elementary school, butseveral of the neighboring elementaryschools will be affected as well — anywherebetween 200 and 450 students will beneeded to fill the new elementary school.

None of the existing schools nearest theproposed elementary school has a currentor anticipated overcrowding issue eventhough overcrowding was used as furtherjustification for a new elementary school.As a result, boundary adjustments will af-fect a significant number of schools to meetall the objectives set out for it: address theclosing of Clifton, limit the transportationtime of students, mitigate overcrowding inschools, and re-assign a sufficient numberof students to the new elementary school.

The impact of closing CES cannot be fullyappreciated until after it is too late. I doubtthat the residents of the Union Mill, Wil-low Springs, Fairfax Villa, and Oakview el-ementary school systems even know deci-sions are being discussed that will have asignificant impact on where their childrenwill attend school in the coming years. Bythe time they find out about the need foradjusting the boundaries of their schools,

it will be too late. The justification forboundary changes will be unavoidable atthat point, with a significant overcrowdingissue to their north and the need to accom-modate several hundred students from arecently closed school to their south. Fur-ther, do the parents of the students attend-ing Liberty Middle School know about theplanned elementary school and the compli-cations of construction resulting from thenaturally occurring asbestos? And this is tosay nothing of the potential for boundarychanges at the middle and high school levelthat could result from such significantchanges at the elementary school level. Hadthe residents of the entire Southwest regionbeen consulted earlier in the process theymight have found other solutions that lefttheir communities intact.

In closing, the Fairfax County SchoolBoard has chosen to characterize the clos-ing of CES as a singular decision withouttaking a broader view of future implicationsto the Southwest region.

The Board should postpone the decisionabout CES until the broader impacts of clos-ing this school are understood and the af-fected communities have had a chance toprovide their input. Making this decision ina vacuum is irresponsible and a disserviceto the residents of Fairfax County’s South-western region.

Rich, Poor, TalentedTo the Editor:

Regarding your editorial [For Scientists,Start Earlier, Learn Geography, Connection,June 9-15]: In the interest of full disclosure,my son attended TJHSST and yes, he camefrom the affluent area of Vienna. He quali-fied to attend TJHSST not because he camefrom Vienna, but because his brain waswired to succeed there. There is not, andnever should be, a “reverse” means test toattend TJHSST (i.e., being poor increasesyour chances of being accepted). That’s asure path to failure for both the student andthe high school. I attended a similar highschool because my brain also just happenedto be wired to succeed in a stringent aca-demic environment similar to TJHSST. Igraduated and went on to achieve a degreein mathematics despite being (not becauseI was) the poorest kid in the high schoolcoming from the government projects.“Poorness” has nothing to do with academicsuccess and should not be a considerationfor admission to TJHSST. Having said that,I do agree with you that a geographic com-ponent should be added to admissions atTJHSST. Perhaps we could discover somediamonds in the rough by admitting the topstudent from each middle school (be theyrich or poor) without their having to passthe entrance exam. But it should alwaysbe based on academic ability.
