We are deeply grateful for their commitment to our school and their willingness to go above and beyond to support our families.
We also want to acknowledge our amazing Student Ambassadors, who represented our school with pride and enthusiasm. Their positive energy and willingness to help made a significant impact on our new families.

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

Kids Heart Challenge
We are excited to let you know that we will be doing the KHC/AHA (Kid’s Heart Challenge/American Heart Association) again this year beginning on April 7th. This year it will be a weeklong event and we will do many fun activities throughout the week during their P.E. time.
Heart disease continues to be an issue and one of the best ways to help fight it, is by exercising and being active. Registration is free for the event and all students who register will receive a wristband. Both the Spring Hill P.E. Department and AHA encourage you to donate if you feel comfortable doing so. All donations will go towards fighting heart disease and help us purchase new P.E. equipment. The Spring Hill Community has always been supportive of this event/cause. We thank you very much for your support.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Mr. Worthington & Mr. V
