Teams Clinch First Ever State Championship On June 7 the Girls Soccer and Lacrosse teams both won the Virginia State title. This was an historic day for Chantilly because the girls soccer teams have never won a state championship before. The girls soccer team beat Mills Godwin 2-1 in an emotional state championship game, a team they hadn’t expected to play because they made it to the state championship in an upset win in region. “It was hard to believe” junior midfielder Kelsey Harney said. “We made goals at the beginning of the season and it was felt great to achieve them.” The girls main goal was to beat Robinson in district, and after they accomplished that it was a major turning point in their season. This is the first time that both the girls soccer and lacrosse teams have ever won a state championship. The lady Chargers proved to be victorious and successful this season. The Lacrosse team beat Robinson 13-4, and with five minutes left in the game they knew that the state championship was going to be theirs. The girls lacrosse team felt rewarded for the hard work that they put into the season. “It was amazing, we felt like we were finally rewarded for all of our hard work.” Senior defensemen Sandy Snell said. “We came so close to winning all the other times.” |

Summer break offers opportunities to relax, read before school Graduation is 10 days away. That’s 10 days until no more studying for AP classes and their finals, no more trivial worksheets, and a whole free summer in front of you with no more required summer reading. Colleges don’t expect you to arrive on campus with a book report on any specific assignment, but you should come prepared to think and work hard in the fall. Without any concrete assignments, it is tempting to leave all of those books on the shelves untouched, but reading is like exercise for the mind, and you want to show up at school in the best condition. Pick up some titles from the library that interest you, but don't forget these classics as well as some new reads to look through while laying by the pool. |

Whether it’s going across the country or just four hours away from home, homesickness can affect anyone. For some teens they already expect to be getting homesick. For others, the thought has never crossed their minds. |
