ATI Students Start Their Journey

Today marked an historic event for FCPS: seven of our 9th graders entered into their inaugural year of the Academy of Technology & Innovation at the University of Mary Washington (ATI @ UMW). We are proud to partner with local divisions to provide our students with additional, exceptional academic experiences. Congratulations to our 9th graders for embarking on this intrepid journey!

What I Wish My Parents Knew

Please join us Tuesday, September 17 at 5:30pm, for a special viewing of "What I Wish My Parents Knew". "What I Wish My Parents Knew" is the first film by Tell My Story, designed as a mental wellness program, to help parents better understand how to support the mental health of their children.

The first twenty-five (25) families to register will receive the Tell My Story card game for free. This game is designed to enhance communication between parents and their teens around the topic of mental health.

This is an adult only viewing, and there will be no children admitted to the film. Childcare is not available for this event.

Refreshments will be provided. Click the link below to register.

The Pencil Project

Are you looking for a way to help a teacher out with Back-to-School?

Are you looking for a way to help teachers out with Back-to-School? The Pencil Project was started to help W-GMS teachers meet the never-ending classroom pencil shortage. Since the project got its start in 2018, it has collected over 2,000 writing utensils for students to use in the classroom.

"Giving pencils is a simple thing people can do, yet powerful," said Mrs. Dawn Bane, the English teacher at W-GMS who started the Pencil Project. "It is literally the way a child can express their knowledge and participate in their learning."

Anyone interested in contributing should contact Mrs. Bane.
