Annandale Terrace Elementary School hosts Back-to-School Fair

The 50th anniversary celebration at Annandale Terrace.

Public elementary schools in Fairfax County generally host an orientation session for students before the start of a new school year and a back-to-school night for parents several weeks later. Annandale Terrace Elementary School is doing something different. It’s having a Back-to-School Fair, combining both activities,  on Thursday, Sept. 3.

The Annandale Terrace event, 4-6:30
p.m., will give students and parents an opportunity to meet teachers, visit
classrooms, and enjoy some fun activities on the Thursday before the 2015-16 school year gets under way on Tuesday, Sept. 8.  

Families
will be able to drop off school supplies, tour the school, review the school’s
new schedule, enjoy dinner from a food truck, play games, experience Zumba, and
explore a fire engine, police cruiser, and school bus. There will be giveaways
and prizes. The Annandale Terrace community, including former staff and alumni, celebrated the school’s 50th anniversary in June.
