Happy Friday Bobcats!
As we step into the vibrant fourth quarter, we're greeted by the beautiful spring weather, the excitement of upcoming vacations, and the anticipation of graduation plans.
A friendly reminder: Wednesday, April 2 is SAT School Day for our juniors. Seniors will have an asynchronous day and should check Canvas for assignments from their Even day classes. Freshmen and sophomores will attend school as usual.
Classrooms across the state are encouraging students to dive into the world of words through engaging in reading multiple genres and a variety of texts around a thematic topic or theme. Battlefield is committed to improving literacy across all content areas. Our push for the 2025-26 school year will have a direct focus on the vernacular related to various subjects and academic jargon. We encourage families to utilize the resources found on the VDOE website as well as the "Family Supports for Reading” in the Resource Hub.
Wishing you all a fantastic weekend! Don't forget, schools will be closed on Monday, March 31 for a holiday.
Best Regards,
Principal Lucas
Mr. Buzzi, our Security Officer is a former journeyman Air Marshal? Read more about him below:
I come from a small town in northwest Connecticut called Torrington, famously known as the birthplace of abolitionist John Brown. In 1990, I earned my undergraduate degree in History from Trinity College in Hartford, CT—the same alma mater as Ms. Anderson (Go Bantams!). During my time there, I played football as an Outside Linebacker and threw the javelin. I was proud to hold the career sack record for the Bantams, at least the last time I checked.
After graduation, I worked in sales for about eight years, first with E.&J. Gallo Winery, the largest winery in the world, and later with Coors Brewing Company. However, I realized sales wasn't my true calling and, in 1999, I joined the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP).
While serving with the USBP in southern California, I met my incredible wife, Mrs. Buzzi—who some of you may remember from your time in the Reagan Middle School library. Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, I transitioned to the Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS).
As a journeyman Air Marshal, I traveled extensively across the globe. The only developed continent I haven’t stepped foot on is Australia. While flying the world, I also earned my M.A. in History. Over the years, I served in various roles, including Physical Fitness Trainer and Team Leader for the FAMS Special Mission Team. In 2022, I retired as a Supervisory Air Marshal and happily began working here. Fun fact: I know of at least five students currently at BHS who have a FAMS parent!
Of all my achievements, the most important has been my family. Mrs. Buzzi and I have three amazing children—Katie, Jena, and Henry. Katie, a senior cheerleader at Fauquier High School, will be heading to Christopher Newport University this August. Jena, a sophomore at BHS, plays as your Girls' Lacrosse goalie (Go Bobcats!). Finally, Henry, a 7th grader at Marstellar, is considering joining the best high school in Prince William County—I’m working on it!
