Mosby Woods Career Fair 2018

Are you willing to share your time and talent as a valued volunteer for the MWES “Real Life Career Fair?” We are looking for parent or community volunteers to showcase their professions on Wednesday April 4, 2018 in the school gymnasium. At the fair, K-6 students will circulate and talk with a diverse group of professionals and have opportunities to ask questions about their career, education, and job duties. This is a wonderful opportunity for our parents to connect with our students and fellow members of the community. If you are interested in volunteering your time, please click HERE to sign up. 

If you have questions or need additional information, please email David Banks, 5th grade teacher or Ashley Dwyer, school counselor. 

Pennies for Patients

The SCA is collecting money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for the entire month of March. This money will go toward cancer research and support for families undergoing treatment. Last year we collected around $1,600. This year the SCA went for a lofty goal of $5,000. Students can deposit change in their classroom collection box each morning. If you would like to donate online, click here. Thanks for helping support this cause!

Congratulations!

High five to all of our class spelling bee winners! They will go on to compete in our School Spelling Bee on Wednesday, 3/7 at 2:00. The school winner will go on to compete against all school winners at the Fairfax County level.

It’s Box Tops for Education Collection Time!

You know those little pink squares on your box of brownies, mac and cheese and more??

They’re Box Tops for Education – each worth 10¢ for Mosby Woods!!

Annually, the Box Tops the school collects raises over $1000 for the Mosby Woods PTA, which goes to support field trips, educational assemblies and classroom technology

Be sure to ask family, friends and neighbors to save their Box Tops for you!

The class submitting the most Box Tops by March 23, 2018 will win an ice cream party!

Submitting Box Tops is easy:

1. Clip your Box Tops

2. Count your Box Tops (Make sure they have not expired!)

3. Put your Box Tops in sandwich bags or envelopes

4. Put one entry form cut from the Box Tops flyer (that your child will receive in their next Wednesday folder) in each bag or envelope

5. Bring it to the school office or your child’s teacher before March 23, 2018. (No staples or tape please!!!)

Thanks for sending in box tops!
