Support GIVE Day! Donate to GIVE Day and Help Fight Hunger Globally
The Henderson Middle School Give Day ambassadors invite the FCCPS community to join together on Martin Luther King Jr. Day to honor Dr. King's enduring legacy.
This year’s goal is to pack 15,000 meals for the Outreach Program, providing essential food to families in need both locally and globally. MLK Day is a time for giving back, and this event offers a meaningful opportunity to teach your children about service and the impact of helping others.
To make this event possible, students need to raise over $7,000 to cover the cost of the meals and international shipping. Each meal costs just 38 cents. Consider donating $38 to sponsor 100 meals for food-insecure individuals around the world.
Three opportunities to support the Middle School GIVE Day Meal Packing event:
Donate directly on the website.
If you own a business, there are corporate sponsorships available.
Visit the bake sale at the FCC Community Center this Saturday, from 8-12:00.

Dear 7th and 8th Grade Families,
We made it - winter break is finally here! Our students have worked incredibly hard this year and have truly earned this time to rest and recharge. When we return, there will be just over a week left before the second quarter wraps up on January 16th.
I hope you all have the chance to relax and enjoy time with family and friends. Looking forward to seeing everyone in 2025!
Sincerely,
