Dear Fairfax Families,
Happy Friday! Only one more week of school for our 9-11th grade students, and we said farewell to our seniors on Tuesday. While graduation day was a bit on the hot side, there was still plenty of energy and excitement as we recognized outstanding seniors and listened to the inspiring messages of our student speakers and former FHS graduate Nick Scott. The absolute highlight for me was congratulating each graduate as I handed them their diploma and witnessed their pure joy in their accomplishments.
Good luck to everyone as we wrap up the last week of school! Wishing you a restful weekend.
Best,
Maureen
