Fredericksburg Alliance For Student Achievement (FASA) created a sense of community with our students and their families. Its annual SOL Kick-Celebration began on April 15 in various parts of our local community, including Hazel Hill and Heritage Park this year. FASA aims to support FCPS students in preparing them for the upcoming SOL assessments by providing study materials they can complete at home with their parents. The FCPS Mobil Cafe and Super Cat Bus are present, providing additional instructional resources and snacks for all FCPS K-8 students.

Last weekend, FCPS hosted a Mental Health Resource Fair at JMHS, featuring breakout sessions, resource vendors, speakers, and a dance performance. Students, families, and community members came together to learn more about mental health resources available to the FCPS community

Today, JM seniors gave back to their community through a variety of different service projects around Fredericksburg. From painting murals to cleaning up parks to reading to the elementary schools, the Ceili Leahy Senior Day of Service allowed our seniors an opportunity to honor their community and the legacy of Ceili Leahy. Good work, JM!
