 Congratulations to our students who participated in this year’s Sixth Grade All-County Chorus. They sang with more than 670 sixth graders from 101 elementary schools from across the county. Fairfax County has consistently been named as one of the Best Communities for Music Education by the National Association of Music Merchants!
Thank you to Mrs. Waggoner and Mrs. Hibbitts for all of her support of our 6th grade all-county choral festival students!
The Woodson Pyramid Art Show was a big success. We loved seeing our artists' work on display. We're grateful to Mrs. Rowader and Mrs. Alvarez-Keefer for their hard work with our students. |

Our fourth grade hosted an awesome Virginia History Day, where they showcased their learning and sang a variety of songs.
April is the Month of the Military Child, a time to recognize children from military families for their contributions and sacrifices. We would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank children from Uniformed Services, State Department, and Foreign Services and other families for their service and sacrifices. We recognize that children serve too. The nationwide commemoration was established in 1986 by former Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger.
FCPS is proud to have more than 14,000 military-connected youth as a part of our student body. We appreciate the varied life experiences they bring to our school community and recognize their strength and resilience.
We appreciate the varied life experiences they bring to our school community, and recognize their strength and resilience. On April 19, we will Purple Up! To recognize and celebrate the resilience and service of our military-connected children!
Why purple? Purple symbolizes all branches of the military as a combination of Army green, Marine Corps red, and Coast Guard, Navy, Air Force and Space Force blue.
Post your picture and tag #PurpleUpFCPS. Let’s Purple Up! for military kids!
