Dear PENN Families,

It is with mixed emotions that I share that one of our outstanding Assistant Principals, Christy Parthenakis, will be leaving Penn Elementary School after five years of dedicated service to our students, staff, and families.

Mrs. Parthenakis has accepted a new position as a Preschool Special Education Coordinator with Prince William County Public Schools. While we are excited for her as she begins this new chapter, we will greatly miss the passion, professionalism, care, and positive spirit that she brought to Penn each and every day.

Throughout her time at Penn, Christy has made a lasting impact on our school community through her commitment to supporting students, collaborating with staff, and building strong relationships with families. We are grateful for all she has done to help make Penn a wonderful place to learn and grow.

Please join me in congratulating her on this well-deserved opportunity and wishing her continued success in her new role.

We will miss you, Christy!
