We want to congratulate ACC teacher Ms. Claudia Braithwaite on her retirement at the end of this school year. Ms. Braithwaite was a crucial part of building the foundation and the flourishing of the ACC magnet program at Oakton Elementary. She has been a role model to countless teachers and students over the years, and her presence at the school will be missed.
