All month long we are promoting our Give to Education campaign! ?? Donate to give our students unique educational experiences through an Educate Fairfax Grant. This year, Educate Fairfax awarded 107 grants – our largest yet – to 100 schools impacting 35,000 students, including several Title I schools. Grants awarded this year include one at Annandale High School that helps students get hands-on career experience at Northern Virginia Community College campus' career and technical education programs. Or like the Building Bridges: Fostering STEAM and FLES through LEGO Education at Columbia Elementary School. Their goal is to enrich the language learning among K-5 students by incorporating LEGO Education resources into the curriculum. Our goal is to provide a grant in all 199 schools within Fairfax County Public Schools next year! Help us make that goal possible.

Join us for the 70th annual Regional Science and Engineering Fair at Robinson Secondary School on Saturday. March 22.?? The Fairfax County Regional Science and Engineering Fair is a competition for students attending high school in Fairfax County. Students earn entry by participating in a science fair at their public or private school. 250 judges are needed every year to evaluate projects in a wide variety of categories ranging from plant sciences to robotics.

It is preferred that category judges hold an advanced degree or possess extensive academic and/or professional experience in their selected STEM category.

In February, student ambassadors from Falls Church Academy, West Potomac Academy, Edison Academy and Marshall Academy attended the 2025 Soft Networking Workshop, where they learned how to level up their first impression game! ?? Students learned the secret to leaving a lasting impact in only SEVEN seconds and learned five easy steps to making a great first impression. Participation in the workshop was made possible by an Educate Fairfax Grant. For more than five years, we have been providing grants to teachers that give students meaningful, equitable and innovative learning experiences. An Educate Fairfax Grant provides students with the tools, resources and opportunities they need to thrive both academically and personally. If you want to help Fairfax County Public Schools students have these types of innovative learning experiences, donate to our grants program at https://lnkd.in/ejiwTRxn #EducateFairfax #Fairfax #FCPS #NorthernVirginia #grants #donation #nonprofit #students #workshop #skills

Happy Give Education Day, especially for our friends at Educate Fairfax, who are partnering with Alumni Nations for a day of giving in support of our schools. While I did not attend FCPS, it has helped shape the lives of my wife, my brothers-in-law, and my future sister-in-law. Educate Fairfax plays a unique role for the 9th-largest school district in the US, empowering students and educators to think outside the textbook. Real learning projects solving real-world problems are the best way to nurture future workplace leaders. Here's a great example of how Educate Fairfax Grants have provided direct investment into student learning and flourishing. Last year, seniors at Chantilly Academy used funding to design a bed for a fellow student with disabilities that would allow him to attend school in person more comfortably ??
