Past Events

Each year we conduct several important events, and help the Foundation for Fairfax County Public Schools promote their event. 

Celebrate Partnerships Awards Ceremony

The Celebrate Partnerships Awards Ceremony, conducted each spring, is one of our favorite ways the superintendent of schools, principals and others to thank business and community partners and honor exceptional ones.  The awards ceremony celebrates new and existing partners and those nominated for awards. At the event we proudly honor our partners with these specialized and noteworthy awards:

• Blue Ribbon Outstanding Event
• Blue Ribbon Workforce Development
• Blue Ribbon Mentoring Program
• Community Partner of the Year
• Business Partner of the Year

2011 Winners

Here's a sample nomination form. The call for entries is typically made in late March each year.

 

 

Common Grounds

Partners benefit when they shore up one another’s common ground.  We are pleased to invite you to a special event with like-minded colleagues, staff, and Superintendent Jack Dale that will enhance your organization’s involvement with the schools.  The event also aims to inspire you as we will also celebrate the long lasting service of many dedicated partners with Years of Service Awards.
