Fairfax Academy Family & Friends,
We are approaching the end of the third quarter! Read on to see the exciting events that have occurred at Fairfax Academy recently - like a masterclass with Silkroad Ensemble, MCT Fest, and MTAS's Signature Showcase! We're also highlighting some upcoming events, in particular our Fashion in Motion show.
On Friday, March 27, we'll have a 2 hour early release countywide. This means we will have AM shuttles only. Midday and PM commuters will be excused in attendance. Please use the links below to report attendance if your AM (2nd period) student is not attending Academy that day.
Enjoy the upcoming break! We'll look forward to seeing our students when we return.
In partnership,
Mrs. Cook
 George Mason University’s Center for the Arts invited the internationally renowned Silkroad Ensemble to lead a master class in our Music and Computer Technology lab. Students had an intimate setting to learn from and be inspired by their mission: to create music that engages difference, sparking radical cultural collaboration and passion-driven learning for a more hopeful and inclusive world. Thank you for your partnership and dedication to connecting our artists to future career pathways.
 MCT Fest was held on Saturday, March 21 and brought down the house! This high-energy celebration of original student work is a great example of the authentic (and FUN) industry and career opportunities offered at Fairfax Academy. Kudos to the musicians, engineers, techs, composers, crew, and Mr. Carlin!
 Thank you to our partners at Signature Theatre for supporting our annual Musical Theatre Pre-Professional Showcase! Congrats to all of the performers and to this year’s Signature Theatre Scholarship awarded on Monday evening to Fairfax High School student, Mauro Manganello!
 Fashion Careers prepares for Fashion in Motion- the student designed end of year fashion show to be held at the Sherwood Center on Saturday, April 25th at 4pm. Models are needed!
Our Fashion Careers classes recently went on a field trip to prepare. Students sourced materials, toured the processing center, and learned about career opportunities in the field. Thank you to our our partners at Upcycle and Goodwill of Greater Washington!
Save the date! City of Fairfax’s Spotlight on the Arts Festival will host a Community Day on Sunday, May 3rd from 11am - 4pm in Old Town Fairfax. Students can share their work from Academy, perform live onstage, and celebrate their year! Interested performers/artists should reach out directly to their teacher for participation details.
Did you know? Academy attendance is separate from base school attendance. Here's how to report Fairfax Academy attendance. This applies to all absences (illness, vacation, field trip, testing) and all base schools (including Fairfax HS).
ParentVue entries are not visible to Academies, and we do not receive notification of base school submissions.
