Shane Wolfe of Aldrin Elementary School received the VA PTA Principal Partner of the Year at the group's May 19 annual meeting. Earlier in the month, he was recognized by the Fairfax County Council, who put his name forward.
Principal Wolfe's collaborative approach has boosted parent engagement and created a stronger school community. From hosting ice cream socials to cultural and heritage nights, book fairs, family reading nights, career day, and Bingo, Principal Wolfe's warm and welcoming attitude has engaged families in school activities.
The Aldrin Reads initiative, where staff bring books, snacks, and activities to the community twice a year, has filled students’ homes with libraries and spread the love of reading.Wolfe has spent nearly his entire administrative career in the Herndon/Reston area, beginning as Assistant Principal at Terraset and Armstrong elementary schools. At the time of his appointment to Armstrong, he was the youngest principal in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Following his six-year tenure as Principal at Armstrong, Wolfe accepted a position as Principal at Bailey’s Elementary School for the Arts and Sciences in Falls Church. He returned to Aldrin as Principal in July 2012.
