Our Lion Community Celebrates Thanksgiving!

November 22, 2024

It is a Fabulous Fairfax Friday!

We have so much to be grateful for and many PAWSome accomplishments to celebrate. Here are some of the highlights from this week:

Thanksgiving Celebration: We kicked off the holiday season with a heartwarming Thanksgiving celebration. Our cafeteria team prepared a fabulous lunch, which was served by our incredible Admin team, and enjoyed by all students and staff. It was a joyous occasion, and we are grateful for everyone who came together to make it such a special day.

Honor Roll Recognition: A huge congratulations to the 775 students who earned recognition on the A/B Honor Roll! This week, we were thrilled to present them with certificates and a sweet treat to celebrate their hard work and academic achievement. Your dedication to excellence is truly inspiring.

Fairfax Lions Football: Exciting news for our Fairfax Lions Football team! They defeated West Potomac in an action-packed game and are advancing to the next round of the region playoffs next Tuesday. Let’s show our support and cheer them on as they continue their playoff journey!

Much Ado About Nothing: Our talented FHS Players took to the stage this week with a spectacular production of Much Ado About Nothing. The show has been a huge hit, with sold out shows, and it has brought so much laughter and entertainment to our community. Congratulations to the cast and crew for showcasing such amazing talent.

Promoting Language and Culture: We are incredibly proud to promote the eight foreign languages we offer at Fairfax High School in conjunction with our Academy. This week, we had the pleasure of welcoming visitors from Korea, who observed both our language and instructional programs. It was a wonderful opportunity to share the breadth of learning that happens here at FHS and strengthen our global connections.

Family Connection: Fairfax High School is offering courses as part of our Fairfax Family University series. Currently we offer English Language Learning classes, computer courses, and preschool educational support. Be on the lookout for our added offerings in the new year. Please reach out to one of our FHS Family Liaisons or stop into our Family Engagement Center to learn more.

As always, thank you for being a part of our vibrant Fairfax High School community. We are grateful for each and every one of you!
