Elementary School Renovation Update Meetings Join us for two virtual elementary school renovation update meetings, both beginning at 6:30 p.m. Daniels Run ES families are invited to participate on Wednesday, April 15, and Providence ES families are invited to join us on Thursday, April 16. Meet with the superintendent and renovation team to hear project updates, learn about progress, and ask questions. Meeting links will be shared soon.

Spring Community Cleanup Join us for the Spring Community Cleanup on Sunday, April 19, from 9 a.m. to noon. This communitywide effort helps reduce pollution, protect wildlife, beautify our city, and promote environmental stewardship.

City staff will host a supply “pit stop” at Van Dyck Park, 3720 Blenheim Blvd., where volunteers can pick up gloves, reflective vests, litter pickers, clippers, and trash bags. From there, volunteers will head to designated cleanup or invasive removal locations, and City refuse crews will collect the gathered litter at the end of the event.

Participants may be eligible to apply for Stormwater Utility credits. Volunteers are asked to register in advance using the City’s online signup form.

FHS Arts Festival Future Lions are invited to join us for the FHS Arts Festival on Saturday, April 11, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Veterans Amphitheater at City Hall. Enjoy free activities including a bounce house, face painting, crafts, and performances by the Fairfax High School FX Players and students from other schools, including Frost Middle School and Robinson Secondary School. Food will be available for purchase.
