Mr. Forrest Chilton

I was born May 3, 1966 in Fort Riley, Kansas to Forrest and Valerie Chilton. I have one sister, Annemarie who resides in Lawrence, Kansas. I’ve been married to Dr. Gioia Chilton(Art Therapy) for 27 years and we have two daughters-Tabitha and Annabel. This is my 36th year teaching after graduating with a BS ELED from Bucknell University in 1989. I am fortunate to have had wonderful teaching experiences in diverse grade levels in Prince George’s County, Fairfax County, and now in Arlington at ASFS. In our free time we enjoy taking long walks, fly fishing in the Catskills of NY, and college sports. Go Bison and Bolts!

Ms. Sydney Lewis

I have been teaching fourth grade at ASFS for nine years. Teaching is a “second” career for me. For nearly 25 years, I worked to promote economic growth in Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe during its transition to a market economy. I have a Masters in Public and International Affairs from Princeton University and a Bachelor’s Degree from Bucknell University. My two children are proud alumni of Arlington Science Focus School. I am an avid walker and reader and love to teach.

Ms. Maher

Welcome to 4th grade! I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska and excited to be a part of the Arlington community. I have had the pleasure of teaching 2nd grade, learning support, and am thrilled to be continuing as a 4th grade teacher at Arlington Science Focus Elementary. I love outdoor activities, board games, running, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.
