As the 2008-09 school year comes to an end, the Falcon Flyer will like to acknowledge the contributions and accomplishments of its staff members. The staff would like to thank our advisor, Ms. Leigh, and our editor-in-chief, Trent Reed, for their guidance and efforts towards establishing an online publication.  We would also like to thank our editors, Amanda Fisher, John Klees, Shannon Wood, Julianne Lewis and Clarke Williams for their leadership and assistance.  A special thanks goes to Brandon Weight for his skill and precision in both photography and technology.  Amanda Fisher and Brandon Weight enabled us to grow as photographers, and take our own pictures to accompany each article.   

We are proud to boast two staff members that have been recognized by the national edition on the American Society of Newspaper Editors website. Amanda Girolami, recognized four times, and Trent Reed, recognized twice, are two of our most gifted writers, and we appreciate the contributions they have made.

Finally, we’d like to thank Chad Rummel, the publications advisor at Oakton High School, for assisting us in establishing our online publication.  We are grateful to Mr. Starzenski, our school principal, for his continued approval of our newspaper.

 The contribution and dedication of these individuals allowed us to produce Loudoun County Public Schools first online newspaper. The Falcon Flyer has grown exponentially, and we hope to continue our success as a team in the coming school year.
