Last week, our beloved school counselor, Mrs. Callihan, experienced the unimaginable loss of her son in a tragic accident.

During this incredibly difficult time, we are holding the Callihan family close in our hearts and hoping to surround them with the same kindness and support Mrs. Callihan has shown so many of our students and families over the years.

There will be a remembrance for family and friends at King Family on August 5 at 5:30pm, per crozetnewz

There is also a Go Fund Me that has been created to help support the Callihan family: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-for-the-callihan-familys-journey

Crozet 4th of July parade canceled due to extreme heat. Stay cool!

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄

Due to extreme heat conditions and increasing likelihood of afternoon storms, the Crozet Volunteer Fire Department Fourth of July Parade has been cancelled. The parade will not be rescheduled.

I made this decision after consulting with Albemarle County Emergency Management, a meteorologist, and taking into account all community feedback, current weather projections, and the health and safety of all participants, spectators, and first responders.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to ensure a safe and enjoyable Independence Day celebration for everyone.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me through our page or by email at: [email protected]
