1.  What advantages have you had being educated at Community School?

opportunities for volunteering in the community.

     Strawberry Festival, for sure!, but also OM for two years.

4.  What was your favorite class when you attendened Community School? Why?    
     My favorite class was Language Arts, with Giinny Woodall - Gainey.  Ginny was a highly creative teacher who valued each student and his/her strengths.  She made learning fun and made everyone feel good about what they were doing.  I learned a great deal from her, not just about language, but how to treat people.

     My occupation is Children's Services for Roanoke County Parks and Recreation.    Yes, I have volunteered in a variety of ways in the community.

6.  What is your favorite memory from Community School? Why?    
     My favorite memory from CS is the friendships I developed. Why: CS is always full of intelligent and creative students with big hearts. The friendships I developed while in school are still with me today. CS encourages the opportunity to know people well and to maintain relationships.
    As an aside, a memory I'm taking to my grave is the Middle School girls trip with Linda Thornton at The Baths.

In preparation for our 40th anniversary, we are gathering information from our alumni.  These are the questions that we sent out to the alumni. However, we got a lot of letters back, so we thought we should post our questions on the blog, too! If you didn't receive our letter, you can either email the answers to cs40th@gmail.com, or you can feel free send us a video.
