February is School Board Appreciation Month
The month of February marks the annual observance of School Board Appreciation Month—a good time to recognize the work of school board members and celebrate public education. Tell your locally elected board members you appreciate what they do for students in Fredericksburg City Public Schools and for being the heart of education by ensuring our students have the opportunity to benefit from a high-quality education. Their decisions and actions affect the present and future lives of our community’s children. Join us in celebrating School Board Appreciation Month in FCPS.

The ribbon was cut today, ceremoniously ushering in the Mobile Giving Tree. JMHS sponsor Tammy Clark said, "If you see a need, meet a need." Thanks to Anderson Oil, Ms. Clark's dream to take the Giving Tree to the community has been realized. Look for the truck this spring.

If you see a piece of plywood surrounded by four orange marking sticks at various locations in the City, please do not disturb them. This is actually a method that is used to report snow accumulation to the National Weather Service. These were used during our most recent snow event, and they have been cleared with the anticipation we could see some more snow in the next couple of days. They are placed at four locations throughout the City: Walker Grant Middle School, Dixon Park, Memorial Park, and the Ballfields/ Community Garden across from Wicklow Drive.
Fredericksburg City Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, January 17 due to current wet road conditions in the area that are expected to freeze overnight and stay frozen throughout the day with extremely low temperatures.
