The purpose of the Op-Ed Editor newspaper is to factually inform and entertain its readers. As an established open forum for the student body, truth will be the staff’s major goal. It is the responsibility of each staffer to adhere to the journalism code of ethics as set by the Society of Professional Jour- nalists, Sigma Delta Chi. The code states that a journalist can not accept gifts, favors or privileges that could compromise their integrity. All material published will be the result of brainstorm sessions by the staff. Subjects stimulating to the majority of the student body will be used. The editorial board, which is comprised of all newspaper staff members will determine the priority of the stories and the overall design of publication. The advisor serves to give students a better understanding of the functions and ethics of a free press. The mary-cate advisor does not serve as a censure. Student editors will decide the material to be published. In accordance with community standards, profanity will not appear in the publication. Students are free to express an opinion on matters of public interests under the, “fair com- mosher ment rule.” Under this rule, the student has the right to intelligently criticize the school and its policies. Editorials reflect the opinion Website Editor of The Lightning Bolt. Opinion stories reflect the opinion of the writer and do not represent the opinion of the faculty and administration of Chancellor High School. Controversial issues will be covered from both points of view. School news, as well as local, national and international events will also be covered. Letters to the editor are welcomed. All letters must be signed and be between 200- 300 words long. They may be submitted to A113 or by e-mailing [email protected]. The Lightning Bolt retains the right to edit letters to comply with journalistic standards. Anonymous letters will not be published. This is your school, help improve it through your opinions, praises, and constructive criticisms. If voiced aloud and in large enough numbers, we can bring about change. Our ultimate goal is to print the truth and with your help we can reach this goal.

  • Jaguar Sports Boosters Bulletin Fall 2013
    Fall 2013 Jaguar Sports Boosters bulletin The Director of Student Activities Wow- what an amazing fall season for the Falls Church High School Jaguars!!! When the season began in early August, we were dealing with many obstacles that could have hindered success for our sports teams: stadium and practice fields were under construction, the track was not available, teams had to practice off campus, and there were unexpected coaching vacancies. Through it all, the coaches persevered and the athletes persisted, and instead of being brought down, the Jaguars rose above – way above! In late August, FCHS was fortunate to celebrate the installation of two new beautiful synthetic turf fields due to the support from Fairfax County Public Schools, the Fairfax County Neighborhood and Community Services, and the Falls Church High School Athletic Booster Club. These new fields have made a very positive impact on our teams, students, and community! Once the school year began, the good news kept coming…. Our golf team had three members compete in the new Region 5A North Tournament –Gary Bornholdt, Ryan Krepp and Kevin Moore. Our volleyball and field hockey teams showed steady progress at all levels (freshmen, jv and varsity) and several athletes earned All-Conference recognition. The Cross Country teams had many accomplishments: in the Capitol Conference 13 Championship, Seniors Emily Grabauskas and Erin Nunan placed in the top 15 along with Nicolas Rodgers on the boy’s side. For the second year in a row, the entire girls’ team advanced to the Region Championship. Nicolas also advanced to Regions for the boys cross country program.

Thanksgiving is on its way! Our new staff, students, and families are now fully acclimated to Bulldog PRIDE, and I want to remind everyone of our daily commitment at SMS to “BE RESPECTFUL, BE RESPONSIBLE, and BE PRODUCTIVE.” We hope that our students are sharing these core values, and that they are striving to meet these expectations at home as well. We continue our practice of BARK card distribution to students to recognize & reward positive behaviors, and hundreds of cards have already been earned this school year. As always, we also continue to incorporate regular safety drills into our school days to prepare for any emergency situations that could arise while your child is here at SMS. Our new students have enjoyed a “Welcome” dance scheduled in September that was specifically scheduled for 6th grade students. The fall sports season has recently concluded for all of our teams. Our girls’ basketball and girls’ soccer teams both finished among the top 4 teams, and both teams participated in the MS championship tournaments.
