MRES Update - May 8, 2020

Dear Marshall Road Families,

At the end of another week of distance learning, we are thankful to have another successful week completed. Additionally, we are very thankful for all of the warm wishes and thank yous extended to our teachers and staff during Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. It is the patience and kindness that we all share that makes the Marshall Road community a special place. 

Enjoy your weekend, especially moms. Happy Mother’s Day!

Food Resources for Fairfax County Families

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency continues to evolve, many individuals and families in our communities may have food assistance needs. All FCPS students (regardless of age), as well as other county children under the age of 18, are eligible for free grab and go breakfast and lunch. Adults picking up meals for children should let staff know how many children's meals they need. Adults may pay $2 for the meals as well.

FCPS is providing grab and go meals at several schools and community centers, pop-up locations, and along several bus routes throughout the county. The FCPS sites, locations, bus routes, and curbside service are available Monday-Friday only. Fairfax County Government and Fairfax County Public Schools have worked together to develop a searchable map that includes community food distribution sites, including FCPS grab and go locations, community meal distribution sites, food pantries, and other related services.
