FAIRHILL ARTISTS AT WORK
Hello Fairhill Families!
We hope you had a wonderful, extended, long weekend. Even though a few hours late, our students are working hard this morning at Fairhill.
We hope you had a chance this weekend to reflect on the profound impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy on our country and world. Many of our Fairhill students were involved in MLK Day of Service activities over the weekend and we are proud of the commitment to community that our students and families have. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously said, “Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education”. Here at Fairhill, we are proud to focus on both character education and rigorous content education.
Have a wonderful week and try to make it out to FCHS Basketball Pyramid Elementary School Night tomorrow at Falls Church HS at 5:45 PM. Also be sure to save the date for Bingo next Thursday, January 25th. More information to come.
