*Happy Spring, Friends!*

*Grades Posted*

academic stress, having trouble balancing workloads, or are unable to
secure timely feedback from a teacher.

Sophomores will take the practice ACT standardized test on Thursday, May

information about the ACT test, please refer to the following website:

*SFS Community Blood Drive*

*Children’s National Medical Center Blood Drive* - This year’s event will
take place on Tuesday, April 7th from 10:00 – 3:00pm on the Upper School
campus. We are looking for blood donors (donors must be at least 17 years
old and weigh 110 lbs.). If you are interested in making a blood donation,
please email David Connell [email-masked] (202) 537-8182 with a range
of times that you are able to donate. It takes about 45 minutes to complete
a blood donation. Please consider contributing to this year’s efforts. Your
generosity might save someone’s life.

*Love Makes A Family*

The Upper School Faculty/Staff Diversity Committee’s “Love Makes a Family”
project needs your help.  They seek to celebrate the great diversity
represented by *all* families whose children attend the Upper School (and
some who have siblings in other divisions).  After collecting family
photographs, they will create a display in the Upper School.

Please share, via email, a photo that captures and celebrates the essence
of your family.  Below you will find submission guidelines for file size,
resolution, etc.  Due to space constraints we are only able to accept *one
submission per household*; we would like to have submissions as soon as
possible.  The exhibit will be unveiled in the Upper School after Spring
Break—details to follow.

Please send your photo to the email address that corresponds to your
*oldest* Upper School student’s class.  If you have children in other
divisions, you are more than welcome to include them in the picture.

Information Services Department, and are secure.  Your photo will be used
for no other purpose than this exhibit.  Thank you in advance for your
