 Dear Parents,

We are writing to you today with serious concerns about a proposed budget reduction for FY2026 that could eliminate funding for the Middle School After-School (MSAS) program in all 27 Fairfax County middle schools, as well as all middle school Value In Prevention (VIP) summer camp programs. These vital programs provide a safe, supervised learning environment for our children after the school day ends as well as for five weeks every summer. Their elimination would have a significant negative impact on our community.

The MSAS program, funded by the Fairfax County Department of Neighborhood and Community Services (NCS) and Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) and administered by FCPS, offers invaluable support to students. Running five days a week, with late bus transportation provided four days a week, MSAS provides a structured and enriching alternative to unsupervised time. Studies consistently demonstrate that students who participate in after-school programs like the MSAS experience numerous benefits, including:

• Improved Academic Performance: After-school programs include academic support and enrichment opportunities, leading to better grades and test scores.
• Increased School Attendance: Students involved in after-school activities are more likely to attend school regularly.
• Improved Behavior: Structured after-school programs contribute to improved behavior and fewer disciplinary issues.

For many families, MSAS is a crucial resource that allows parents to work knowing their children are in a safe and productive environment. Eliminating MSAS would leave a significant gap in care and supervision and opportunities for many middle school students. All activities that happen after the school day dismissal bell are encompassed in the current after school program. Intramural Sports, Performing Arts rehearsals, after school tutoring and homework help, teacher office hours, and many enrichment activities like College Career & Exploration, Science Olympiad, TSA, Mathcounts, NJHS, and Model UN would all go away.

We understand the need for budget considerations, but cutting such beneficial programs would have far-reaching consequences for our children and our community. We urge you to take action to protect these vital resources immediately. 

Please contact your Fairfax County Supervisor and School Board members immediately to express your support for the MSAS program. Let them know how important this program is to your family and the positive impact it has on your child's academic, social, and emotional well-being.

You can find contact information for your representatives on the Fairfax County website: https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/myneighborhood/

Time is of the essence. Decisions about the FY2026 budget are being made NOW. Your voice matters. Please act today to ensure that our middle school students continue to have access to the valuable support and opportunities provided by the MSAS program.

Public participation is encouraged by the Board of Supervisors, and residents are invited to provide input through public hearings and community discussions before the final budget adoption in May.  Each Magisterial District has scheduled public hearings and County-wide after-school Budget public hearings are scheduled for Tuesday through Thursday, April 22-24, with final budget adoption scheduled for May 13.

Young Girl Summit:Pathways to PEARLseverance

First Baptist Church of Vienna would like to bring awareness of an upcoming event Young Girl Summit:Pathways to PEARLseverance.

On Saturday, March 15, 2025, First Baptist Church of Vienna will host our Young Girl Summit: Pathways to PEARLseverance, a powerful and transformative event designed for middle and high school girls. We are privileged to welcome Marissa Mitchell from Fox 5 DC and Dr. Nardos King, Chief Equity Officer for Fairfax County Public Schools, as keynote speakers. Their leadership and expertise will inspire and empower the young women who attend.

This summit will focus on three key areas:

• Participating Civically – Encouraging young women to actively engage in their communities and understand the importance of their voice and actions.

• Practicing Personal Care – Emphasizing self-care, mental wellness, and strategies for maintaining a balanced life.

• Preparing for a Sound Future – Equipping participants with the tools and knowledge to effectively plan and prepare for their futures.

Over the years, we have partnered together to serve our community through initiatives such as Weekend Blessing Bag meals, Thanksgiving baskets, and Christmas gift baskets. These efforts have strengthened our bond and our shared commitment to student success and well-being. Now, I invite you to join us in empowering the next generation of young women by sharing this event with your students and encouraging their participation.

We would love to discuss how we can support your school’s involvement. Please let us know how we can partner with you to ensure that as many young women as possible benefit from this opportunity.

Thank you for your time and continued support. I look forward to the possibility of working together to uplift and inspire the young women in our community.

With gratitude,

Rev. Dr. Vernon C. Walton
Senior Pastor

Kiss and Ride Procedures with Updates

 

Please use the second entrance for Kiss and Ride. The main entrance is for buses and staff only in the mornings.

 

Parents, please be patient with kiss and ride. We are experiencing some of our largest numbers ever with kiss and ride. In the mornings, please pull all the way around to the last kiss and ride sign that tells you to stop. This allows us to unload several cars at once instead of only a few when cars stop in the middle of the loop. Give other cars time and wait for them to pull out. This means do not pass on the inside lane. Staff will direct you around slow or stalled cars. Safety is our #1 priority.

 

**Effective immediately, we will start letting students out at 7:06. Students are to go to door #8 to enter the building.**

MLK, Jr. Day of Service:

Martin Luther King Jr. Day (“MLK Day”), observed in the United States on the third Monday in January each year, is a day to honor and reflect upon the immense contributions of Dr. King to the civil rights movement. It is a time to remember his dream of equality, justice, and unity, and to engage in meaningful discussions about the ongoing struggle for civil rights and social justice in the United States and around the world.

 

MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a National Day of Service to encourage all Americans to volunteer to improve their communities. During the last two decades, the MLK Day of Service has grown, and its impact is increasing as more Americans embrace the idea that citizenship involves taking an active role in improving communities.

Students should have the opportunity to engage in meaningful and enduring learning experiences that delve into the profound legacy and tireless advocacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The materials provided below encompass a range of content resources and activities that can be integrated into existing curriculum or used to design fresh educational experiences for your students.

Essential Questions to Consider:

• What are the challenges and obstacles faced by those who advocate for civil rights and a pursuit of justice and equality where there is resistance?
• How can individuals today contribute to furthering the goals of Dr. King in terms of racial and educational equity, equality, freedom and justice?
• In what ways does the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. intersect with other social justice movements, including those related to gender and economic justice?
• What challenges and issues related to racial equality and justice persist in the United States and globally, and what strategies can be employed to address them?

Additional Resources:

• Glossary of Nonviolence (The King Center)

• The "Mountaintop" Speech (Vimeo)

• I Have a Dream Speech (Vimeo)

• Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial (National Park Service)

• Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Park (National Park Service)

Service Learning:

Volunteer Fairfax will be facilitating a community conversation and an in-person day of service event on Saturday, January 25th at the James Lee Community Center in Falls Church. Current details for this event can be found here.

Liberty Staff Winter Celebration:

Special thank you to the Liberty Community and our PTA for helping us celebrate our Liberty Staff this winter.

Parents should enter and exit from the entrance closest to Compton Road. The bus entrance is for buses, not kiss and ride. Please follow the signs and directions of school staff. Students may exit their vehicles starting at 7:08AM.

Please remember SAFETY and PATIENCE when dropping off (7:08AM) or picking up your student in the Kiss and Ride loop. In the mornings, please do not pull to the inside and pass cars as students are getting out. If there is a slow or stalled vehicle, a staff member will direct you around when it is safe to do so. 30 seconds seems like forever when you are in a rush. If possible, your student may walk or ride the bus.  

 

In the afternoons, drivers may line up in the kiss and ride circle. Students will be dismissed at 2:15 and report to the kiss and ride circle. Staff will direct cars out safely, as soon as the student is in the car. Thank you very much for your patience and cooperation!

Kiss and Ride Procedures with Updates

Parents, please be patient with kiss and ride. We are experiencing some of our largest numbers ever with kiss and ride. In the mornings, please pull all the way around to the last kiss and ride sign that tells you to stop. This allows us to unload several cars at once instead of only a few when cars stop in the middle of the loop. Give other cars time and wait for them to pull out. This means do not pass on the inside lane. Staff will direct you around slow or stalled cars. Safety is our #1 priority.

 

**Starting in January after the break, we will start letting students out at 7:08. Students are to go to door #8 to enter the building.**
