Robinson's Month of the Military Child (MOMC)
 |
|
We would like you, as a parent in the military or a veteran, to send your student a letter thanking them for their courage, resilience, and ability to balance their world around your service. |
Letters can be emailed to bthazard@fcps.edu, dropped off at the school at the main entrance, or mailed to me at Robinson. Please address the letter with your child’s given name on the envelope so our Rambassadors can get the letter to the appropriate student. The school’s address is:
Robinson Secondary School
5035 Sideburn Rd.
Fairfax, VA 22039
