School Picture Day is in 2 Days!!
Band is Back!
Ms. Etter is looking forward to having band in person this year. We will have safety guidelines in place, with distancing, and musicians masks. We will start the year with group lessons (on Thursdays), but no after school band. Students in grades 4-8 are welcome to participate. Please email Ms. Etter at kimetter@comcast.net to let her know your child is interested!
The hot lunch menu for October is now active. The menu will close Saturday, September 25th. Place your lunch order HERE!
Please be sure to pay your balance after placing your order. If you have any questions or problems, please contact our Cafeteria Manager, Mrs. Rutherford at fawslunch@fatherandrewwhite.org.
Substitute Teachers Needed!
We are looking for cheerful and positive parents and community members who would be available 7:30am - 2:45pm to substitute for teachers as needed throughout the year. Approved applicants who pass a criminal background check can use this for volunteer hours or to receive payment. If you are interested please contact the Mrs. Szooch at principal@fatherandrewwhite.org for a substitute application and information about what days you would be available.
New to Volunteering at FAW?
Child Protection Volunteer Requirements: For our new families and as a reminder for our returning families, don’t forget the archdiocesan requirements for anyone who wishes to volunteer for activities that involve interaction with our children (ex. coaching, classroom or cafeteria helper, chaperone on field trips, etc.). The Archdiocese of Washington Child Protection Policy requires volunteers in parishes and schools to set up an account at virtus.org, complete a volunteer application, get fingerprints taken, and attend a (virtual) training session on the Child Protection Policy. Upon completion of the training session, the last page in the policy book must be signed and returned to the school office. No one may volunteer with our children until the entire process is completed. Families that need to start this process in order to volunteer for activities involving our children, may visit our website HERE for step by step instructions.
FAW Golf Tournament Planning Committee
We are looking for a few great go getters and make it happen teammates. This team plans the logistics, pounds pavement to get sponsors + golfers, and hosts the day of the event. If you are interested in joining our Get-it-Done Committee, please email dawn@teamcarroll.com to sign up. We will be meeting virtually on Tuesdays from 6 to 7pm. Thank you!!
Lunch Helpers
Email fawhotlunch@gmail.com about volunteering in the FAW kitchen with Mrs. Rutherford preparing hot lunch.
Playground Volunteers
Thank you so much to those who have already signed up to be recess monitors during the first quarter. We still need to fill open time slots. If you are available, please consider signing up. Your child will love to have you here!! Access the sign-up here. Please email fawnews@fatherandrewwhite.org to get your name on the sign up document.
Did you know FAW parent volunteers offer a used uniform program at FAW? If you need uniforms or have uniforms to donate, we have a new format! Beginning this year, New-To-You Uniforms will be set up at school events making this program available more frequently and on a first-come-first-find basis. Pass on this blessing to others by donating your child’s used uniforms (unstained & washed, please). Donating is easy – bring uniforms with you to school events, drop off right at the New-To-You Uniform Tables or in the “Used Uniform” green bin right in the school’s vestibule. This is an amazing program FAW offers to all families at no cost. Save money, practice good stewardship, pass along blessings, prevent textile waste, the list of benefits is endless.
Does your FAW middle-school student need service hours? We would love to help your student(s) sign up to work New-To-You Uniform tables at school events. Students will sort incoming uniforms and provide parent support in filling uniform requests. It’s a great opportunity to grow social skills, serve others, provide proactive facilitation, and practice professional conversation. Please contact Sheli Laney sheli.laney@live.com or Melanie Chadwick Chadwickmm207@yahoo.com if your child would like to volunteer for any upcoming school event in which the used uniform program will be present.
Want to do even more for the used uniform program? We desperately need large totes and a gently used portable hanging rack. Please consider donating these items to help us further organize this effort.
