OUR FAMILIES ARE AWESOME!
In the past 24 hours, many of our families answered our CALL TO ACTION, sending LOTS of donation requests to friends & family around the world! What a great way to support your student using their AWESOMENESS to help others!
The response was so amazing, we want to give everyone a chance to still participate! If you didn't have a chance to register, click on the link below and enter in at least 10 email addresses or cell phone numbers via your personal donation page!

If you complete the Golden Ticket assignment by midnight TONIGHT, your student will automatically be added to our list to receive prizes tomorrow! We will also be conducting WEEK OF WOW drawings for the next several days and giving away some amazing bonus rewards, like a $250 Amazon Gift Card and 4 Mini Fridges Stuffed with CASH!
The funds raised through this program will benefit all our students, and we are excited for our Day of Awesomeness Celebration! Click here to see a preview Day of Awesomeness Video
It’s never too late to make a difference! Thank you in advance for your support!

On October 10, 2022, the School Board voted to extend Fall Break to include Monday, November 21 and Tuesday, November 22. This means students and staff will have the entire week of November 21-25 off, and will return to class on Monday, November 28.
Because of the added Student/Teacher holiday, this means that the number of Inclement Weather Days will be reduced by two. Days 1-7 will not be made up.

We're hosting a FREE clothing and food event on Friday, 9/30 from 5-7 PM! Fredericksburg Area Regional Food Bank will be there with food donations. Moss Free Clinic & Extra Community Resources will also be available. See more: www.spotsylvania.k12.va.us/article/835136
