Families will have the opportunity to enjoy foods from a variety of cultures, play games, create crafts, hear stories, and create digital postcard greetings. If you have any questions regarding the evening, please contact Kimberley Mathews at kcmathews@fcps.edu. 

Family Engagement Survey

Please take a few minutes to complete the Family Engagement Survey. You should have received an email link, but if you would like to complete the survey on paper, there are copies available in our front office. If you need support completing the survey, please reach out to our Family Liaisons, Ana Maxey ajmaxey@fcps.edu or Liz Denman erdenman@fcps.edu and they can support you with this request. 

  Your feedback is invaluable and we hope to strengthen the partnership between your family and our school by receiving your input. The survey only takes 10-15 minutes to complete. 

Lost and Found

Please take a few minutes to look in our lost and found for any items your child may be missing. With the changes in weather, there are many winter coats, hats, and sweatshirts that have been missplaced.

We will donate any remaining clothing at the end of March 

Read-a-Thon! March 4-March15

Our Read-a-Thon fundraiser launched this week and will continue to run through March 15. Keep it up and encourage your child to read every evening at home to earn prizes for their class.

Please feel free to share this link to family and friends so they can sponsor your child and support our PTO. We will be using these funds to purchase school supplies for students this Fall and to support school events such as busses for field trips and assemblies. We are looking forward to another successful Read-a-Thon! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the administration or email the PTO at ptomasoncrest@gmail.com.
