 School starts Tuesday, August 28. There is still time to donate to "Collect for Kids."
Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Foundation for FCPS or any of the many "Collect for Kids" partners this summer! We've been hard at work to collect and distribute school supplies and backpacks to the 54,000 low income students in our district.
School starts next week - your financial gift will help us to fill the gaps and "Collect for Kids."
Let's make sure all students have what they need to be successful in school! Find out more on the Collect for Kids website.

came to Inova after serving as President of the Cleveland Clinic Regional
Hospitals and Family Health Centers.
The State of Education Luncheon will be
held on Tuesday, November 27, from 11:30 am – 1:30 pm at the Fairview Park
Marriott. Over 350 guests are expected to be in attendance to hear from Dr. Jones, FCPS Superintendent Dr. Scott Brabrand, and congratulate the Business and Community Partners of the Year.
