A Message from Principal Goldstein 

Dear Fairview Families, We have had an outstanding Read Across America Week here at Fairview. It has been a pleasure to witness our students engage so enthusiastically with new stories and celebrate that a book is more than just paper and ink—it’s a passport to another world. To conclude this week of celebration, we cordially invite you to attend our Spring Book Fair Grand Event this evening from 5:00-7:00pm in the Fairview Library. This is the perfect opportunity to refresh your home libraries and find that next "can't-put-it-down" book for your child. We appreciate your continued partnership in fostering a lifelong love of reading in our students. We look forward to welcoming you to the library tonight. Have a wonderful weekend! Samantha Goldstein Principal

Fairview News

March 1-7: National School Social Work Week This week, we are taking a moment to recognize the incredible impact of our very own Ms. Waldron, Fairview’s dedicated School Social Worker. While many see the school day through the lens of grades and lesson plans, Ms. Waldron looks at the whole child. She is the bridge between home, school, and community, ensuring that every student has the emotional and social support they need to thrive. Whether she is navigating a difficult crisis, facilitating a small group, or simply providing a safe space for a student to be heard, her empathy and advocacy make Fairview a stronger, kinder place. Thank you, Ms. Waldron, for your tireless dedication, your compassionate heart, and for being the "glue" that helps keep our school community together.

If your spring break or summer plans include traveling abroad or to an area in the United States with high measles activity, the Fairfax County Health Department encourages you to ensure your family is protected. Children 12 months and older should have 1 or 2 doses before traveling. Depending on your specific travel plans, your health care provider may also advise you to vaccinate infants 6 to 11 months old.

Rooted in Resilience, Echoes of Excellence: FCPS’ Second Annual Black History Month Celebration

The spirit of heritage and the promise of the future filled the air at Carter G. Woodson High School as FCPS held its second annual Black History Month Celebration with the theme, Rooted in Resilience: Echoes of Excellence. This year’s event was especially significant as it coincided with the 100th anniversary of the movement that became Black History Month.

Students from across the division took center stage as the true "echoes" of this excellence. The program featured student-led Moments of Pride that connected local and national history to contemporary achievements. A spirited keynote speech was delivered by Vernon Walton, senior pastor at the First Baptist Church of Vienna. Another highlight of the night was the FCPS Black Excellence video tribute.
