Please Clear Paths to Bus Stops The following note was sent by FCPS today:
"Fairfax County Public Schools is working hard to re-open as soon as possible. Its staff are focusing on clearing sidewalks, walking paths, and parking lots at all of their schools. Transportation staff are clearing school buses so that they can resume service. A major challenge to re-opening schools is outside of the school system's control and they need the help of individual citizens and communities. Specifically, students need safe walking paths to get to school bus stops and to schools themselves. Students need a safe place at which to wait for buses without having to stand in roadways. Since many individual residents are physically unable to clear a sidewalk or bus stop in front of their homes, this request may require that neighbors help neighbors. The school system asks for everyone's help in clearing walking paths and bus stops so that students can get to school safely."

Jurassic Adventure Fun Fair: Saturday, March 13
Room Parents are currently contacting parents to fill specific general volunteer slots that are derived from the Master Fun Fair Volunteer Spreadsheet. The shifts are generally 2.25 hours long. Positions include selling tickets, operating games (no training required), supervising moon bounces, handing out prizes, selling Fun Fair food, etc. No job is better than another. Working in the kitchen has its advantages because you get to see everyone come through. Supervising the moon bounces can be fun, too. Each job has at least two people assigned per shift.
Cake Fund Donations and Ticket Pre-Sales are available on our new Chipmunk Avenue online store. Credit card and personal checks are acceptable forms of payment in Chipmunk Avenue
Donate $5, $10, $15 or more to the Cake Walk Fund to help the Chesterbrook PTA purchase 100 small cakes from the Chesterbrook PTA. The kids really enjoy competing for the cakes.
Pre-purchase Fun Fair tickets now and you get 5, 10 or 15 FREE tickets. The door price for tickets is 4 for a $1, plus you have to stand in line while the kids struggle to get to the Fun. However, pre-purchase tickets and you have the choice of paying $15 for 65 tickets; $25 for 110 tickets; or, $35 for 155 tickets.
Know a former Chesterbrook student currently in middle or high school who needs Community Service Hours? Encourage him or her to volunteer for the Fun Fair.

FCPS to Host Budget Forum On Saturday February 20
Fairfax County residents are invited to attend a budget forum hosted by the Fairfax County School Board on Saturday, February 20, at George C. Marshall High School from 9:00 AM to Noon.
"More people are engaged in this year's budget process than any in recent memory, and since this budget is a very complex one that affects virtually every family, we felt it would be productive to offer citizens the opportunity to hear factual information and get answers to their questions," says Kathy Smith, Fairfax County School Board chair. "The purpose of this meeting is to educate the community on how they can participate in the budget process. It is not designed to be a forum for citizens to advocate for individual programs or against specific proposed cuts."
The FCPS FY 2011 advertised budget is scheduled to be adopted by the School Board at its business meeting on February 4.
Participants will learn more about the budget and the budget process as well as how to communicate effectively for change. In addition, two breakout sessions will feature principals who will discuss the budget impact on schools. Other session topics include how central office staff members support schools and budget realities and misconceptions. There will be ample opportunity for questions and answers. Citizens who are planning to attend are asked to e-mail budgetforum@fcps.edu or call 571-423-1075. |
