Dear friends of public education, Excellence in education is an economic imperative for the success of a civilization, and the pursuit of creative educational programs outlined herein is paramount to why our community is globally recognized for excellence.
		The Fairfax County Public Schools Education Foundation continues its challenge of remaining the premier public/private partnership between business and education. This collaboration between the private and public sectors creates global benchmarks for the best educational policy and practices. Recognizing that change is inevitable, but progress is optional, we have chosen the progressive path. We create an astonishing product—from kindergarten through the 12th grade, we assist a child to become a citizen who can communicate with both the written and the spoken word, and who is technology enabled to advance the excellence of our civilization to the next level. It’s amazing! I’m privileged to serve as Chairman for our Board of Trustees. On behalf of all of us, and together with our brilliant teachers and principals, we thank you for your interest and support, and hope that you will join us as we continue our journey on the path of educational progress. Sincerely, Marty Irving Chairman
