FCPS Superintendent, Dr. Michelle Reid, paid a visit to some of our classrooms this week to see the amazing things that happen at Mosaic!
📰What's Happening at Mosaic?
📝Kindergarten Registrations Needed!
If you have a child turning 5 by September 30, we encourage you to get those registrations in as soon as possible.
Families can register their new students in one of the following ways:
Help us spread the word to friends and neighbors.
We look forward to welcoming our newest students and families to our school community!
📖Reading Makes Cents - Win Money for College!
Your child could win money for college! Just read five books from the Reading Makes Cents reading list, which supports financial literacy, and then send in your child’s reading log, online or by mail. Two lucky students from our region will win $529 for higher education. If Mosaic Elementary has a high participation rate, we could win $500 worth of books for our school library!
📖InSPIREing the Love of Literacy
We are incredibly grateful to Educate Fairfax for their generous support in awarding us a grant to fund additional SPIRE reading intervention kits. This vital funding allows us to provide targeted literacy support to students who need it most, ensuring every child has the tools to become a confident, lifelong reader. Having these additional kits allows more teachers to reach more students. Because of Educate Fairfax’s commitment to education, we can continue to bridge the literacy gap and foster a deep love for stories and learning within our community.
