WHEREAS, Green Hedges School, an exceptional private school in 
 Fairfax County, celebrates 75 years of inspiring students to develop clear values 
 and a passion for lifelong learning and become conscientious citizens of both 
 the Commonwealth and the world; and

WHEREAS, Green Hedges School opened with 10 students in 1942 
 and was founded by Frances and Kenton Kilmer, who operated the school out of 
 their home; the Kilmers worked to create a positive learning environment and an 
 enriched curriculum that focused on literature, music, art, and world culture; 
 and

WHEREAS, by 1955, Green Hedges School had grown to serve 60 
 students and relocated to its current five-acre campus in the historic Windover 
 Heights neighborhood in Vienna; in 2016, the school enrolled 175 students in 
 Montessori preschool, kindergarten, and grades one through eight; and 

WHEREAS, Green Hedges School has flourished under six heads of 
 school�Charles A. Wright, Kathleen Battaglia, George Schumacher, Scott Votey, 
 Frederick W. Williams, and Robert E. Gregg III�and members of the community and 
 parents serve on the school�s Board of Trustees; and

WHEREAS, Green Hedges School offers a rigorous and diverse 
 curriculum that teaches students to ask questions, take risks, explore new 
 opportunities, respect others and themselves, and develop strong character; and 

WHEREAS, graduates of Green Hedges School are known to be 
 confident, accomplished, intellectually curious, and kind and leave the school 
 well-prepared for success in high school, college, and beyond; now, therefore, 
 be it 

RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, 
 That the General Assembly hereby commend Green Hedges School, a unique private 
 school in Fairfax County, on the occasion of its 75th anniversary; and, be it 

RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates
