Volunteers Needed for AP Testing
McLean HS is giving over 4,400 AP exams between May 5-May 23. We are asking for parents/guardians to volunteer their time to help proctor so AP testing can run effectively and smoothly. Parents/ Volunteers are not allowed to assist with an exam for an AP class their student(s) is currently taking. Sign up here to volunteer your time. Proctoring assistance days and times will be confirmed by March 28th. If you have any questions, please contact the Assessment Coach Elly Donlen (ekdonlen@fcps.edu).

Fundraiser
Spring Clean for a Cause!
McLean High School PTSA is pleased to announce a partnership with Northwood High School PTSA for a Prom Boutique collection. Your generous donation of gently-used formal dresses, tuxedos, or costume jewelry will help give Northwood students a Prom night to remember!
Northwood, home of the Gladiators, is in Silver Spring, and has the highest Free and Reduced Meal (FARMs) rate of any high school in Montgomery County. Many students and families supported by the Northwood PTSA struggle to pay for Prom.
Northwood students will have the chance to shop in the Boutique, purchasing Prom outfits for just $5 - all proceeds will help fund next year's Boutique, and no student will be turned away for lack of funds. MHS-PTSA is proud to help sponsor this event.
Please drop your donations off at the collection bin in the MHS front office no later than March 28th.
