Preschool and elementary school students from eight Chesterbrook Academy schools in Northern Virginia worked together on Nov. 7 to gather and sort more than 1,000 pieces of candy for U.S. troops. Students from Chesterbrook Academy locations in Centreville, Chantilly, Clifton, Fairfax and Herndon gathered at Chesterbrook Academy Kids Campus in Chantilly to sort the candy and package it for delivery. Each year in honor of Veterans Day, Chesterbrook Academy schools participate in the project, called Operation Gratitude, as a token of their appreciation for servicemen and women. The candy will be distributed to USO locations in the Baltimore-Washington metro area and to children who have parents deployed in war zones.
