Message from the President
Hello Fairfax High School Families, Teachers, and Staff,
I can’t believe the first quarter is done!! Thank you to everyone who donated for Monday’s Roar Round up snack table! Our first mock SAT was this past Saturday. The next one will be in March. The Academic Boosters will have their Lettering Event this Wednesday, please consider volunteering if you can. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044EABAA2FA57-60113826-academic
We have had some new members join in the last few weeks. We are now at 48%. We still have a long way to go to have the membership we need to meet our goals. As I have said before, joining doesn’t commit you to anything, just shows your support!

All Night Grad Volunteers Needed - Parents AND Students!
CONCESSION SIGN-UP!!
 |
|
The Class of 2026 is thrilled to host our All Night Grad (ANG) Celebration. ANG is an unforgettable, fun, drug- and alcohol-free event designed to keep our students safe on the night of graduation. |
How can YOU help?
All Night Grad (ANG ‘26) is working concessions at the Fairfax City Holiday Craft Show, November 15 & 16 at Fairfax High School. ALL the concessions and 50/50 raffle proceeds benefit the Senior Class ANG celebration, held the night of graduation. This fundraiser is the best way to defray the cost of ANG and keep ANG ticket prices low.
However, we need assistance - from many parents and students - to pull this off!
Junior parents are highly encouraged to assist since you will be running the event for your kids next year! All students can get volunteer hours for their support, plus it's a lot of fun. Volunteers also receive FREE entry to the craft fair! There are three ways to help:
Questions? Email us at ANG@fairfaxptsa.org. Thank you for supporting the Class of 2026 and providing a safe space to celebrate on graduation night.

Did You Know?
