Free School, Sports, Camp Physicals
The Jeanie Schmidt Free Clinic (JSFC) is offering FREE school, sports, and camp physicals to students in Fairfax County, ages 3-18, on Saturday, August 14th at our clinic in Herndon, Virginia. To schedule an appointment, call 703-481-8160, or or go to www.jsfreeclinic.org/physicals A comprehensive services event, Free Physicals Day includes additional developmental assessments, activities such as crafts, backpack and book giveaways, as well as a free lunch for students and on-site enrollment for Medicaid and other health programs. The service is provided for children ages 3-18 who are uninsured and whose family income is twice the federal poverty level. Children must have a parent or legal guardian present.

Senior Portraits
Seniors will have several opportunities to take their senior photos – in August, and in October. It is strongly recommended that seniors attend either their August appointment and use the October dates as make-ups. There are no more picture dates at HHS beyond October, so if a senior would like to get a retake they have to travel to a Lifetouch studio. In addition, it is highly likely that if a student waits to take their first set of pictures in October and then wants retakes that the retakes will be taken in enough time to include that photo choice in the yearbook.

Lifetouch will mail information about senior portrait sitting times directly to the students. If your student does not receive a postcard in the mail or needs to reschedule their appointment they should contact Lifetouch at 1-800-445-1189. The dates for photos are:

August 18, 19, 20
October 6, 7, 8

Cap and Gown portraits will be taken on March 16, 2011.

New Store Needs Your Used Clothing

Check out the flyer here for more information and stay tuned for the dates the buying will begin.
