 Our SCA Representatives give students who are new to Fairfax Villa tours of the school. This helps our new students get familiar with the building and our school community!
Dear Fairfax Villa Community,
As we move closer to the start of spring, we are excited for the longer days and the extra daylight that comes with them. The change in season always brings a renewed sense of energy to our school, and we are looking forward to spending more time outdoors with students in the coming weeks. Whether it’s learning outside, enjoying recess in warmer weather, or simply soaking up a little sunshine, spring is always an exciting time in our school community.
We hope you will join us for our upcoming Math/Pi Night on Friday, March 13th from 6:00–7:30 PM. This is always a fun evening for families to come together and celebrate math through engaging games and hands-on activities. Students will have the opportunity to practice their math skills while enjoying time with friends and family. Of course, no Pi Night would be complete without pizza and pie! Please note that this will be a cash-only event.
We are also inviting families to help by baking and donating pies. Join in by signing up here.
Also, a reminder that Spring Picture Day will take place this coming Wednesday. We look forward to seeing our students’ bright smiles as we capture these seasonal photos.
Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support. We are grateful for the strong collaboration between home and school that helps make our community such a wonderful place for students to learn and grow.
Warmly,
Ms. Textoris & Mrs. Burke
Mark your calendars for Pi Night – 3/13/26!
Enjoy pizza, pie, and concessions while helping fundraise for our school. Cash only event.
Interested in baking a pie to support the night? We’d love your help! Sign up here!
Representatives from 6th grade will be on-hand to help with the games. We will also have an Estimation Station, and other math activities. Collect stickers on your passport for each game you try!
