 November is Family Engagement Month!
This year's theme is One Team, Stronger Together! Families and schools play an important role in helping students learn, grow, and succeed. Over 35 years of research shows that when families and schools work together, students are more likely to succeed.
This month, think about simple ways to connect, learn, and spend time together as a family. What is one small thing you can do to strengthen your connection with your child's school?

- Build confidence, resilience, and lifelong skills together
Join us to learn simple, practical ways to talk with your child about their social and emotional well-being and support their growth at home.

Volunteer at Finance Park!
Junior Achievement of Greater Washington invites you to volunteer at Junior Achievement Finance Park in Fairfax, where adults in the community help middle school students learn real‑world money skills that last a lifetime and prepare them for their futures.
As a volunteer, you’ll guide students as they build a household budget, make financial decisions, and explore everyday expenses like housing, transportation, and insurance. No prior financial expertise is needed! Training, guidance, and materials are provided, and JA staff are onsite to support you throughout the day.
Volunteering is a rewarding way to share your experience, connect with students, and give back to our community, all in a single day.
We’d love to have you join us!
