Would you look at that - it’s one of our Department Chairs being recognized for her incredible work! Way to go, Carolyn!
Carolyn Fado was an ETA to Gabrovo, Bulgaria, in 2013. She had a session in October this year at the 46th Fulbright Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado, entitled: "Writing: A Therapeutic Art to Build Student Voice and Resilience". She has worked with many diverse groups of students–including language learners, students who have experienced gun violence trauma, and neurodivergent students. She is currently the English and Writing Department Chair at Commonwealth Academy in Alexandria, Virginia. In 2023, Carolyn was one of 12 teachers selected nationwide by the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards in recognition of her mentorship of students and her own writing. #fulbrightalumna #USteacher #inclusiveteaching #mentorship #facon23 #fulbrightbulgaria #fulbrightbg30

This week, members of our team - Ms. Anabelle Morgan, Mr. George Stanton and Ms. Destiny Esper - are attending the 2023 NAIS People of Color Conference in St. Louis. This invaluable experience serves as a cornerstone in our journey toward a more diverse, equitable, and empowered community. Their insights, learnings, and connections forged will undoubtedly enrich our collective pursuit of excellence at CA.. We look forward to leveraging these experiences to continue shaping a future where inclusivity thrives, barriers dissolve, and every member of our community flourishes.

Director of Studies Molly Shipman and English Language Arts Department Chair Carolyn Fado attended the annual Virginia Association of Independent Schools (VAIS) conference earlier this month. In addition to attending numerous sessions full of exciting information to bring back to CA, Ms. Shipman and Ms. Fado were also chosen as presenters. Their seminar on teaching writing while integrating differentiation and social-emotional learning was well received by attendees — a testament to the incredible work we do at CA. Way to go, team! #DreamTeam #CommonwealthAcademy #VAIS #VAISConference #VAIS2023 #socialemotionallearning #ELA

🌧️☔ When life gives you rain, make calming jars! ☔🌧️ At Commonwealth Academy, we believe in the power of community and resilience, rain or shine! 🌈☀️ Today, our incredible team members joined forces with our upper school students for a heartwarming project that truly defines the spirit of CA. Despite the pouring rain, our students showed up with smiles, creativity, and a willingness to make a positive impact in our community. Together, we helped kids in our neighborhood create calming jars - a simple yet effective tool for managing those overwhelming moments. 💆♀️💆♂️ These jars, filled with glitter and serenity, will serve as a reminder that even in the stormiest of times, we can find inner peace. Our students' dedication and compassion shine brightly, reflecting the close-knit community we've built here at CA. 🌟✨ It's moments like these that make us proud to be part of such a caring, resilient, and extraordinary group of individuals. Thank you to everyone who braved the rain and contributed to this wonderful project! Together, we're making a difference, one calming jar at a time. 🤗💙 #CommunityUnity #RainyDayResilience #CAcares #CommonwealthAcademy #LifeChangingLearning #LDSchools #LearningDifferences
