Last year, Mrs. Rutherford began putting aside leftover or spoiled food, (mostly unclaimed salads) and Nurse Rose would take them with her to volunteer at Summerseat Farm to feed the animals. It cuts down on food waste ending up in the garbage and gives the animals, such as the chickens and bunnies, much needed greens. The efforts of our staff were recognized by the St. Mary's County Commission on the Environment and we were selected as winners of the 2023 Sustainability Award. Nurse Rose and Mrs. Rutherford will attend the awards ceremony at the St. Mary's County Earth Day celebration at Summerseat Farm this Saturday, April 20th. If you're there, stop by and say hello!
Congratulations to Mrs. Rutherford and Nurse Rose on this achievement!

We are excited to announce that two of our Destination Imagination (DI) teams from Father Andrew White School are two of the top-scoring DI teams in the state of Maryland and now have the opportunity to present their Challenge solution at the DI Global Finals in Kansas City, Missouri —an international competition where they will compete against teams from around the globe.
Please consider donating to help these teams get to the Globals competition!! Destination Imagination is an educational, academic program that has helped our students learn and practice valuable skills like creative and critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork through different competitive, STEAM-based (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) Challenges.
The teams are working hard to raise the $5,500/team registration fee plus the almost $1,000/student it will take to get them there to experience this amazing opportunity! Raising $20K in only one month’s time is daunting, but they are DItermined!!! Every gift is a blessing and we truly appreciate your support! Thank you so much for your contributions.

Multi-child tuition grants or any financial aid through the school will be determined by an independent committee, using the applications submitted through TADS. Therefore, if you are applying for financial aid from FAW, you MUST complete the TADS financial aid application in its entirety, including uploading all relevant documents, to ensure a good and fair evaluation by our committee. There will be no additional multi-child grant or financial aid paperwork or application offered from FAW School. The deadline is Wednesday, April 17, 2024. If you have already submitted an application, no further action is necessary.
Please remember to keep your logged volunteer hours up to date! You should have about 20 hours by this point to be on track for your 25 hour requirement (for Service Scholarship families).
