THANK YOU TO THESE WONDERFUL FAIRHILL LADIES FOR SHARING AN EID FEAST WITH US!
Doaa, Shahida, Roua, Muska and Sara provided lunch for our whole staff. They each brought cultural dishes that they eat to celebrate EID. It was delicious! Thank you so much!
Hello Fairhill Families!
We hope you are having a wonderful week. As a reminder, this Saturday, 4/20, is our Spring Fairhill Garden Day! This is a collaborative event between Fairhill staff and the PTA. It is one of the top favorite Fairhill events for many of our families. There will be science activities for students, opportunities to garden and lay mulch, and of course, our playground will be open. Please scroll down for more information.
We hope you to see you this Saturday, from 9:00 AM - 11:00AM.
Also remember tomorrow is PURPLE UP DAY to support military families! Let's turn Fairhill PURPLE tomorrow!
Take care,
Ted & Marua

In addition, a therapy dog, named Lucy will be available for a visit with her therapy dog trainer, who is a member of the Fairhill community.

Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) School Health Services Internal Survey
The Fairfax County Health Department (FCHD) employs school health aides and public health nurses who provide school health services to the students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS). To determine the quality of these services, a survey has been developed by the FCHD to be shared with all parents or guardians of FCPS students. Parents/guardians will be asked for feedback on the level of satisfaction with School Health services provided to the school community. The survey will be distributed electronically via FCPS This Week. The survey window is April 15 - April 26, 2024. Survey link: www.redcap.link/FCHDSchoolHealthSurvey.
Survey results will provide a basis for quality improvement of School Health services. The data-driven process is in alignment with the FCPS Strategic planning process, and the survey results will contribute positively to the FCPS Strategic Plan that reflects a shared consensus among stakeholders.
