Long Weekend Ahead
Dear Fairhill Families,
We are excited to share some important updates and celebrations as we head into the final stretch of the school year. We are officially finished with all Reading and Math SOL testing, and students in grade 5 will complete the Science SOL this week. Preliminary results for Math are in, and they are outstanding—over 98% mastery! Thank you to our students, staff, and families for their incredible work. A reminder that all SOL scores will be available in ParentVUE within five days of each test.
We also want to congratulate Nancy Blang, our beloved SACC teacher, who is retiring this week after more than 28 years of dedicated service to the Fairhill community. Thank you, Ms. Blang, for your incredible commitment to our students and families. Enjoy the long weekend, and be on the lookout for next week’s Fairhill Forum, which will include information about our end-of-year events.
All our best,
Ted and Maura

Help Us Erase Student Lunch Debt
Please consider donating to eliminate school lunch debt through our Educate Fairfax platform. All donations are tax deductible; you will receive a receipt for tax deduction purposes.
CALLING FOR VOLUNTEERS: HELP TO MAKE BIG DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY
The Fairhill PTA again will continue to support Fairhill families and our broader local community by collecting unused food purchased from the cafeteria (e.g., milk, string cheese) and/or unopened store bought food (e.g., crackers) during the spring semester
Our kids' role -> Kids are asked to leave food they may otherwise toss in the garbage and instead put it off in the Food for Others fridge in the cafeteria.
Our volunteers' role -> Once a week (Mondays or Tuesdays), we are asking for a volunteer to collect the food and drop it off at Food For Others (1 mile away).
Our collective Impact -> In addition to minimizing food waste, we are helping 75,000 Fairfax County (and Fairhill families) who are food insecure. On a weekly basis last year, we collected hundreds of milk cartons, string cheese packets, crackers, yoghurts and more.
Sign up here to volunteer! Questions???? Call/text//email Anika Marpaka (anikaamin@yahoo.com or 703 855 0500)
