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.
Saluting our stars and stripes while honoring our resilient military kids!
