Chantilly — Friday, April 13, was "College Day" in the Chantilly Pyramid. All faculty and staff were encouraged to wear a shirt from their alma mater and take five-plus minutes to share their college experience with their students. At Greenbriar West Elementary School teachers started the day in class meetings by sharing where they went to college, what they studied, and things they wished they had known before going to college. The goal was to show the children that the goal of attending college is realistic for them.
