WEATHERING THE STORM WITH INDOOR RECESS!
Hello Fairhill Families!
Things are going wonderfully here at Fairhill. We are back in the swing of things after the break. We wanted to draw your attention to a few important dates ahead.
This Monday, January 15, is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and it is a holiday for students and staff. Looking ahead, the end of January brings us to the end of quarter two. Thursday, January 25 is a two-hour early dismissal for students and we have PTA bingo that evening - we hope you can join us. Friday, January 26 will be a student holiday and teacher work day.
Take good care and stay safe in the storm today!

Spring 2024 Enrichment Classes at Fairhill
Registration is open for before and after school enrichment classes! These opportunities provide students with a dynamic platform for exploring their interests and expanding their horizons beyond the regular curriculum.
Click here for the list of classes offered. You can also go to the PTA website for information.
Registration ends on January 16th, but classes may fill up before then.
 Disclaimer: Opportunities offered by organizations other than Fairfax County Public Schools are neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Fairfax County School Board, the Superintendent, or a specific school. These opportunities may utilize technology tools that have not been assessed by the Fairfax County Public Schools Department of Information Technology.

BINGO IS BACK!
Conversation to Raise Awareness of Fentanyl and Other Drugs In this video, Superintendent Dr. Michelle Reid interviews the Fosters, a family who tragically lost their son Cayden to a half pill of fentanyl mistaken for Percocet. This heart-wrenching yet eye-opening video of their experience is essential to raise awareness among parents/caregivers and students about the dangers of fake painkillers.
Please join Dr. Reid on Wednesday, January 10, at 6:30 p.m., at Edison High School for a community conversation about opioid awareness. You may register to attend. However, registration is not required; it is simply for space considerations.
The evening’s program is appropriate for parents/caregivers and students in grades 6-12. All attendees will receive free REVIVE! Narcan training during the event and learn about support services currently available within FCPS and Fairfax County.
FCPS’ website also has resources to help you to start the conversation and additional support for families struggling with substance misuse.
