Black Business and Prominent Community Member Fair was a Big Success
In February, students from the Kettle Run High School Black Student Alliance Club,
along with support from the school's diversity liaison Katrianna Tapscott and their
sponsors, organized the third annual Black Business and Prominent Community
Member fair. Nearly 200 students from all three Fauquier County high schools
(Fauquier, Kettle Run, and Liberty) attended the event, where they had the opportunity
to speak with and learn from local business owners and prominent community
members, with the goal of helping students open their eyes to new opportunities for
their future.
"Thank you to our students, staff, and business community, and to all who created
such an enriching experience for kids," said Dr. Major Warner, Fauquier County
Public Schools Superintendent.
