These Fall Fundraisers will help support our 26-27 programs including teacher/staff and student club support, college/career activities plus teacher/staff appreciation events.

Please also consider donating to our Peer Mentoring program. The FHS peer mentoring program is where 100 juniors and seniors serve as peer mentors to the incoming 9th grade class during Lion Time!  Ms. Sharyn Hunt, program sponsor, has requested candy donations for their program. A special shout-out to Ms. Hunt!

All Night Grad (ANG)

I had a virtual meeting last week for Senior Parents to hear about ANG.  We need an ANG Planning Committee.  We also need a team lead for the first fundraiser in November, which is the City of Fairfax Craft Fair Concessions Stand.  This is by far the biggest fundraiser for ANG.  For a SignUp Genius of the Committee and Craft Fair duties please click here: ANG Committee and Craft Fair SUG

If you would like to be included on future correspondence please click this link here: All Night Grad Parent Interest Your participation is essential to the success of this event. Please pass this info along to other senior parents. Email ANG@fairfaxPTSA.org if you have any questions.  

Thank you,
