Trash or Treasure
This year Terra Centre students and families are encouraged to help keep candy wrappers out of the landfill. Help Terra Centre collect empty candy wrappers in our “Trash or Treasure” box in the main entrance of the school. These wrappers will be cleaned, sorted, and specially processed into pellets which can then be reused for many different new plastic products. Let’s help Terra Centre Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle this fall season. (Please only place empty wrappers in the box).

Tips to Help Keep Children Safe
The Fairfax County Police Department (FCPD) reminds parents and caregivers that it’s important to talk to your children about safety topics including:
- What parents should know about their children’s plans.
- Having a meeting spot in case of getting separated.
- Establishing safe areas.
- What to do if you are followed.
Visit the FCPD website for more details on how to discuss safety topics.
FCPS Buildings Benefit All Community Members
In addition to our students and teachers, we estimate millions of visits by students and community members to Fairfax County public schools. Most of the public meeting and recreational facilities available in the county are FCPS facilities. FCPS works with the Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community Services and with the Fairfax County Park Authority to ensure that school facilities and athletic fields are available to the public after school hours.
The 2023 Bond Referendum will be on the ballot in November. Vote on Tuesday, November 7. Learn more about registering to vote.
