The Mini-Economy is an exciting opportunity for students to participate in a mock economy in which they will become entrepreneurs! Kids will have the opportunity to be creative as they design and make a product to sell in our market. The kids will take ownership of their product as they learn what it takes to make their business and economy successful! They will have a blast while experiencing economic principles in a real life setting and becoming more financially literate. The week will culminate in a high energy “market day” and pizza party!

ADOPT -A -SOLDIER The Chantilly High School National Honor Society is working with America's Adopt-A-Soldier again this year to host a care package drive benefitting soldiers overseas. Our goal is to mobilize our school, the surrounding community and all pyramid schools in packing over 300 care packages. Donations will be collected from February 19 through April 12. Every two weeks on a Monday, NHS officers from Chantilly will pick up any donations at individual schools. Your support is needed to help make this project a success. Each school has specific donation items and additional information for your school will be coming home soon. All donations should be packed in a plastic or brown paper bag. We are encouraging students to donate as many packages as they feel they can over the two month period. Volunteers will also be needed on packing day, Saturday, April 13. This will take place in the Chantilly cafeteria beginning at 9:00am. For more information on America's Adopt-A-Soldier, please visit http://www.americasadoptasoldier.org/ and see the attached flyer. If you have any further questions or concerns, please email Charles Demek at ctdemek@fcps.edu or at 703-915-7301. We appreciate your support of this project and hope that you will join in uniting our community through service.
