2020 Senior Virtual Honors Ceremony Glen Allen High School Message from Mr. Davenport, Principal I would like to congratulate everyone in this Senior Class. It’s been a long road, but you made it and we are so proud of you! This year has not ended the way we anticipated, but through it all this senior class has been an extraordinary group to work with. You have created a culture of integrity, school pride, and good citizenship. There have been so many fabulous moments where I was truly impressed by the talent, the good choices, and the positive attitudes shown by the members of this senior class. Message from Ms. Bonner 12th Grade Administrator I can’t believe the Class of 2020 is finally graduating, and getting ready to begin their next chapter. It seems like just yesterday, with your room and bus number pinned to your shirt, that you started Kindergarten. You are a group of young adults who have continuously shown good character, empathy, and tremendous grit. We wish we could celebrate your accomplishments in person, but please focus on the good. This “pause” has allowed us all to realize what is important, and to make more of an effort to find the joy in life. We are so proud of all that you have accomplished, and we cannot wait to hear about your future success! Take pride in the fact that you have reached this milestone, and enjoy this time of celebration! Once a Jaguar, always a Jaguar! One team, one heartbeat, one family! Accolades and Scholarships Congratulations to all Seniors who have earned scholarships this year. The 2020 Senior Class has earned $2,291,340 in scholarship money.

A graduate of Glen Allen High School, he attended Virginia Tech, where he majored in Biochemistry before his sudden and untimely passing in 2015. During his brief, yet brilliant life, Haydn exemplified kindness, curiosity, and wit. Haydn touched the lives of many in the Glen Allen community, and this scholarship seeks to carry on his positive impact on the lives of students and families. We are proud to present this $1,000 award to Jaden Battle. Reynolds Community College Board Scholarship The generosity of the Reynolds Community College Board of Directors make it possible for one student from each high school in the Reynolds service region to receive a scholarship of $3,600 over the course of the academic year. This year’s recipient embodies the heart of what Reynolds is all about: hard work, resilience, and passion. The 2020 Glen Allen High School Reynolds College Board Scholarship is awarded to Angela Salcedo! The UVA Ridley Scholarship Ridley Scholars demonstrate excellence in academics, leadership activities and community service. Recipients are in the top 5% of their class, excel in a number of Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate courses, and score in at least the 90th percentile on the SAT or ACT.

Although GRASP advisors are often able to assemble a sizable financial aid package for students, frequently other costs are not covered by the financial aid package. The need for small, targeted Last Dollar Scholarships became apparent, and through the generosity of our foundation, business and personal donors these scholarships became possible. The Last Dollar Scholarship of $1000 is awarded to De’Shawn Threatts! GRASP Pathways Scholarship GRASP’s Community College Pathways Scholarship is awarded to a student who will graduate with an Associate’s degree and transfer to a 4 year college to complete a Bachelor’s degree. This $1000 scholarship , renewable for a second year, is awarded to Joseph Whitlock! The Truist Scholarship The Truist Scholarship is part of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Winners of Special Scholarships are chosen based on their academic accomplishments from a pool of candidates who fulfilled the sponsor's criteria and scored high on the 2018 PSAT/NMSQT®. Congratulations, Katelyn Kasko, on winning this prestigious scholarship! GA5K Scholarship For four years, with help from the Glen Allen Ruritan Club, we have hosted our Annual GA5K as part of Glen Allen Day. The GA5K has funded a scholarship for a deserving Glen Allen senior chosen based on their applications and creative responses describing what Glen Allen means to them and how they plan to give back to this wonderful community. This year's GA5K Scholarship recipient is Olivia Butler. Richmond Times-Dispatch Scholar Athlete Award Starlett Price and Zelgin Jackson These two student-athletes will be featured in a two-page spread in The Richmond Times-Dispatch. They are Glen Allen’s Times Dispatch/Sports Backers Scholar-Athletes of the Year nominees. Congratulations! HCPS Teacher Scholar Every year the high school seniors who are accepted into Henrico County Public Schools’ Teacher Scholars’ program will have guaranteed teaching jobs waiting for them when they graduate from college, as well as a $5,000 signing bonus. The program is a homegrown way to address the need for teachers in content areas where there aren’t enough qualified applicants. Our 2020 Glen Allen High School winner is Jordan Johnson!

    CITIZEN PARTICIPATION FORM RESPONSES Thursday, December 10, 2020 Timestamp First Name: Last Name: Magisterial District: Your written comments for the December 10 work session: Nov. 12, 20 -- 9:47: AM Emily Doran Tuckahoe District - Thank you for your dedication to the families of HCPS and the opportunity to provide feedback. I Marcie F. Shea wanted to comment on the current proposals for the targeted redistricting in the Tuckahoe district centered around the boundaries for Quioccasin Middle School. I am fully supportive of redrawing the QMS boundary as proposed, and feel that this makes sense, both geographically and from an equity standpoint. The proposed new boundary, using Three Chopt Road as the northern boundary for QMS and moving Maybeury to QMS, is very logical, and improves the feeder patterns throughout the schools feeding into Quioccasin and Tuckahoe Middle Schools, as well as the feeder patterns up to the high school level. This proposal also meets the original goals and guidelines for redistricting by addressing/reducing concentrations of poverty and using major roads as natural boundaries. As a QMS parent, I feel that the proposed boundary change would be a positive step toward addressing significant equity issues that exist between Quioccasin and Tuckahoe Middle Schools. A change is needed because current boundaries not only increase inequality, but also create unnatural feeder patterns up to the high school level that disrupt the sense of community and continuity for QMS students. Because the current QMS zone pulls students from north of Three Chopt Road, the students of QMS are split off into three different high schools.

Jennings, P.E., Traffic Engineer, Henrico County Department of Public Works PHONE: (804) 501-4397 Henrico to install flashing-yellow traffic signals to improve safety The Henrico County Department of Public Works will install new traffic signals at four intersections during the week of Feb. 6 to help motorists better understand the need to yield to oncoming traffic before turning left. The signals will feature a new flashing yellow arrow, which will indicate that motorists may proceed after yielding to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. The signals will replace ones that have permitted left turns by showing a solid green circle with a sign that says, “Left Turn Yield on Green”. The flashing yellow arrow will appear during the signal’s normal cycles, which also will guide motorists with solid red, green and yellow arrows. The Federal Highway Administration and Virginia Department of Transportation have approved the use of flashing yellow signals in light of research showing they reduce the number of left-turn accidents by more clearly conveying that motorists must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians before proceeding. The Traffic Engineering Division will install the new signals at the following intersections: Hungary Road and West End Drive; Hungary Road and Francistown Road; Gaskins Road and Ridgefield Parkway; and Creighton Road and Cedar Fork Road. Motorists may experience temporary delays during installation. Engineers plan to monitor the signals for about one month before deciding whether to install them at additional intersections.

Acceptance for mailing at special rate of postage provided for in Section 1103, Act of October 3, 1917, authorized July 18, 1918. — CHOOSING A COLLEGE Environmental conditions, including location, must be taken into account in choosing a college. No other college in the country is more fortunate in this respect than the State Teachers College at Fredericksburg. This College is ideally and strategically located amidst the finest traditions of old Virginia, almost in the shadow of the Nation's Capital, and accessible to the great centers of culture of the East. The environment is both inspiring and romantic because of its colorful past and the peculiar blend- ing of the life of early Colonial days with the life of today in a manner to be found nowhere else in America. Here you may spend your college days where you can look down upon the boyhood home of George Washington, the home of his sister, and the home and tomb of his mother, and within a few minutes' drive of Wakefield, his birthplace, and of Mount Vernon, the home of his mature years. What could be more delightful than Fredericksburg ''America's Most Historic City"—filled with romance and his- tory ! You will like the gracious charm of stately Colonial pillars, the rolling shady lawns, and the halo of golden memo- ries which cluster about the place.
