Staff Appreciation Week, March 4-8

Amazing Volunteers

 

Please help celebrate the teachers and staff at FHS during Staff Appreciation Week March 4-8! There are many opportunities to volunteer and donate to their luncheon on Wednesday, March 6, and support the daily raffles.

  • Staff Lunch: Please sign up here Staff Appreciation Lunch to ensure that this event is special, and our teachers, counselors, administrators, custodians and cafeteria staff know how much they are appreciated! The PTSA honors staff in March rather than waiting for National Teacher Appreciation Week in May to avoid the busy testing season. 
  • Monetary Donations: The PTSA is catering lunch from Moby Dick House of Kabob and we are seeking donations to help cover the cost. Shout out to Moby Dick for offering a more affordable “teacher discount” and Wegmans for donating toward our event! Monetary donations can be made at: https://fairfaxhs.memberhub.com/store/items/691099
  • Food Donations: We are also looking for donations of desserts and beverages. Donated food items can be left in the FHS Office no later than Tuesday, March 5, 2024 (school holiday). Please label any items for Staff Appreciation Lunch! Any surplus packaged foods will be used by our school counselors and leadership students during Wellness Week in April or donated to the FHS Food Pantry. Food Donations
  • Raffle: We are seeking donations of gift baskets from individuals, groups or businesses or other donated items such as gift cards to raffle. Our goal is to have something for EACH of our wonderful staff members! Please drop items in the office no later than Friday, March 1 clearly labeled “Staff Appreciation.” If you need to make other arrangements, please contact Sandy Murray at saguidice@hotmail.com. Raffle Donations
  • Volunteer: If you can help on the day of the event to set up, hand out items and clean up please sign up! Volunteer Signup

All Night Grad Party Update ~ Still Time to Help

Tickets for the All Night Grad Party go on Sale in March!

Next month we start selling tickets for the All Night Graduation Party.  These will be available online and at certain events at FHS.  Watch this space for more information on how to purchase tickets.

 

Donations Needed for Online Silent Auction

We will be holding our annual ANG Online Silent Auction this spring to raise funds for the party.  To make this a success, we need donations of items that we can auction off.  These can be products, team-themed baskets, sports tickets, vacations, or services from a business. 

If you or your business have an item or service you would like to donate, please contact us at : ANG@fairfaxptsa.org 

 

Next ANG Meeting: February 21, 2024

Our next Committee Meeting is on February 21, 7:00 pm, at FHS in the FHS Library (upstairs).  We have a number of fundraising activities coming up where we will need parent volunteers and support.  We also will be looking for parent volunteers to help at the party on graduation night, June 4.

We encourage people to join us in person, but if that is not possible, we will be live streaming on Zoom:
