 Dear Spring Hill Families,
Fun Fair is one of the most exciting days of the year at Spring Hill Elementary School, when we transform our school building into a carnival - every area becomes part of the fun and games! This beloved Spring Hill tradition brings smiles to everyone's faces with hours of games, raffles, prizes and so much more! Click for a Fun Fair Map, Game Details and More!
With less than 2 weeks to go, we have just half the volunteers necessary for a successful Fun Fair! Volunteer shifts are short and fun – and easy! If we don't get more volunteers, we will need to close some games early and shut down other games entirely. Click the here to volunteer NOW!*
Sincerely,
Amy Briggs

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:
-
March 10, 2025, for the week of March 17, 2025
-
March 17, 2025, for the week of March 24, 2025
