🎃Pumpkins Needed!
Mosaic Elementary is doing a school-wide event and we are still in need of about 30 pumpkins! We would like for these to be average sized pumpkins (about 10-12 inches in height). If you are able to purchase a pumpkin and bring it to Mosaic between October 21st and 23rd, it would be greatly appreciated!
Please sign up here. Thank you!

📝Look for the Impact Aid Survey, Coming Soon to ParentVUE
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) is eligible for federal Impact Aid grants due to the federal presence in our area. FCPS anticipates receiving approximately $3,000,000 in Impact Aid funds that will become part of FCPS' general operating budget. They are critical to ensuring that students receive an excellent education.
FCPS uses the survey for Federal Impact Aid to identify federally connected students. Starting October 21, the survey will be available online through ParentVue. Families without ParentVUE can request a paper copy of the survey from the office.

🥙National School Lunch Week
Multiple studies show that school lunches are important in supporting overall student health by improving students’ diets and combating food insecurity. Students who eat school lunches consume more fruit, vegetables, and fiber than their peers.
This School Lunch Week, FCPS Food and Nutrition Services reminds families that they are dedicated to providing flavorful, healthy, sustainable, and student-focused meals. Also, new menu items have been launched this year based on student feedback.
Want to know what’s for breakfast or lunch? Nutrition Services now has printable menus.
