Let’s Celebrate Blue Star Welcome Week at NFES!
Every year, approximately 600,000 military-connected families relocate. Most of these families move to new duty stations, while some transition out of the military and others transition in. Most of these moves take place over the summer, and Fairfax County Public Schools is committed to ensuring our military families feel welcomed and a sense of belonging to their local community.
Blue Star Welcome Week (September 23 – October 1, 2023) is an opportunity for our community to welcome our military-connected families and show them our appreciation for their service and sacrifices. Throughout the week, FCPS will help ease their transition through events, messages, actions of welcome, and opportunities to make meaningful connections. #BlueStarWelcomeWeekFCPS
Please help us welcome our military families by participating in the following school activities!
Chalk the Sidewalk
Students and families are invited to stop by the school on Sunday, September 24, or Monday, September 25, and use sidewalk chalk to write or draw positive and welcoming messages outside Door 1 to welcome and show our appreciation for our military families!
