A Message from Principal Jemison
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) proudly honored our dedicated cafeteria staff with a special award recognizing their unwavering commitment to serving our students and school communities. These hard working professionals go above and beyond each day to ensure that every child receives a healthy, nourishing meal in a welcoming environment. From preparing balanced breakfasts and lunches to creating thoughtful, inclusive menus for all dietary needs, their care and compassion are at the heart of our schools. This well-deserved recognition celebrates not only their culinary skills but also their vital role in supporting student well-being, academic success, and a sense of belonging for every learner who walks through our doors.
Together, we are and will continue to be Fort Belvoir strong!

Second Grade Museum Trip
Our second-grade students recently enjoyed an exciting and educational field trip to the National Museum of American History. The children were filled with curiosity as they explored exhibits showcasing everything from historic inventions to famous artifacts like the original Star-Spangled Banner. They especially loved the interactive displays in the “America on the Move” exhibit, where they learned how transportation has evolved over time. The visit offered our students a meaningful opportunity to connect classroom lessons with real-life history, sparking thoughtful questions and lively conversations. It was a memorable day of learning, discovery, and fun for everyone involved!
