Dear GBW,
Student Fasting Meal Kits for February 28 - March 28, 2025
The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has issued a new, first-time waiver allowing students fasting during the school day from February 28 to March 28, 2025, to request take-home breakfast and lunch meal kits. The Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) will provide meal kits reflecting the school menu. Meals will be kept cold and must be heated at home. Students may claim one breakfast and one lunch kit per day. If a student purchases breakfast or lunch at school, they cannot pick up a kit that day. Meal kits must be picked up by students at the end of the school day—adults cannot collect them. Parents or guardians must submit a weekly request form via the FCPS FNS website by the deadlines:
-
February 24, 2025, for February 28 and the week of March 3, 2025
-
March 3, 2025, for the week of March 10, 2025
-
March 10, 2025, for the week of March 17, 2025
-
March 17, 2025, for the week of March 24, 2025
Forms must be submitted on time to receive meal kits for the following week.

Girls on the Run (Grades 3-6 Girls)

The 10-week curriculum includes lessons that specifically target helping girls improve in competence, confidence, caring, character, connection, and contribution. Girls learn specific skills and strategies such as how to manage emotions, help others, make intentional decisions, and resolve conflict that they use at home, at school and with friends.
Registration at GBW is now open for girls in grades 3rd-6th until Sunday February 23rd.
The Spring season starts on March 3rd, meets Mondays and Wednesdays after school until 5:30pm, and ends with a 5k race in May. Visit https://www.gotrnova.org/ to learn more and register. Questions? Email mbdrum@fcps.edu.
