FVS Weekly- Nov. 20

‌

^ PHOTO OF THE WEEK: Francis Z. ’22

Dear FVS Community,

I’m interrupting our usual brief and bulleted broadcast of FVS Weekly to offer a few words of gratitude as we depart for Fall Break. We’ve made it to November 20, and I’m so incredibly proud of the resiliency that our community has shown as we’ve adapted to the changing landscape along the way. It seems as if we have crossed an ocean of uncharted waters in the time since we welcomed everyone back to campus in August, and you have all risen to meet these challenges admirably. A special thank you to all of our teachers and other employees who have been working often around the clock each day to make it all happen. I hope the week ahead will provide a well-deserved opportunity to rest, recharge, relax, and to safely connect with family and loved ones. I look forward to seeing you all virtually in the weeks between Fall and Winter Break when we will convene for classes through distance learning and close out the first semester. In the meantime, as always, take care, stay safe, be well, and THANK YOU for your great work and partnership over the past few months.

Will Webb

Head of School

FVS Parent Giving Day Participation Incentives

Tuesday, December 1, is FVS Parent Giving Day. Our goal is to reach 100% parent participation and as an incentive, we are excited to offer the FVS Rising Welcome Back Snack Pack highlighted above by Duke the Dane. Parents- if you make a gift of any amount to the FVS Annual Fund anytime between now and FVS Parent Giving Day on Dec. 1, we will deliver this fun Welcome Back Snack Pack directly to your child in their dorm, at home for day students, or by mail to those learning virtually. Gluten-free substitutes are, of course, available.

BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE!!! The class with the highest percentage of parent participation by the end of Parent Giving Day will be treated to a safe and socially distant pizza and movie night here on campus.

Any gift, any amount counts and participation is our goal. Many thanks to those who have already given to this year's Annual Fund and please know that any gift made since July 1, 2020 will count toward our Parent Giving Day incentives.
