FHS Staff Appreciation, March 6-10

Staff Appreciation

We invite every parent to send compliments to our staff through this google form. Personalized notes will be dropped in the mailboxes of staff throughout the week. Spread the love and tell our teachers and staff what you appreciate most about them, what you love most about their class, or how they make a difference in your life!

Thank you to the hospitality chairs, Jen Seifert and Shenika Bailey, for organizing all the PTSA festivities, all the parents and local businesses for donating, school administrators and counselors on the Wellness Committee for showering our staff with extra events and love, and Principal Aye, Ginny Cate and Jessica Rios for leading the charge and making sure it all came together!

Generous donations were made by Wegmans, Compass Coffee, and Rita’s!

If you would still like to help, we are still seeking monetary donations to pay for the Food Trucks tomorrow:

Mock SAT/ACT

On Saturday, March 18, 2023 at 9am the Fairfax High School Academic Boosters will again be partnering with Applerouth Tutoring to offer Mock SAT and ACT exams.

This is a perfect opportunity for students who haven’t started their testing to become familiar with the format in a stress-free environment at FHS for only $25. We will also offer the Mock ACT for students who have already taken the SAT and wish to see if the ACT might be right for them.

Students are encouraged to take a practice test before attempting the actual exam. They may select either the SAT or the ACT practice test. Students will receive detailed score reports to help them determine which areas they need to study.
