Students Invited to Share Their Voices at the 2025 Family Summit

The 2025 FCPS Family Summit will take place on Saturday, March 15, at South Lakes High School. Visit the Family Summit webpage for more information. 

At the event, FCPS students are invited to showcase projects and advocacy efforts around inclusivity in schools. This is a great resume-building opportunity, and students can earn service hours as well. Students may share their work in a share-fair environment using posters, essays, videos, songs, or art. They will interact with attendees through conversations about their work, ideas, and efforts to foster inclusivity in school communities. 

Students must use this Google Form to participate by Monday, February 17. A list of possible projects is also on the form. More information will be provided after the student’s submission is received. Please contact Manuel Gomez Portillo with any questions. 

The event will feature: 

• Drs. Julie Causton and Kristie Pretti-Frontczak, best-selling authors, inspirational speakers, and inclusion advocates will join us to share work they have done around inclusive schooling.
• Breakout Sessions: Learn more about topics and engage in discussions that are relevant and helpful to your family. 
• Student Showcase: Our FCPS students share their efforts in fostering inclusivity through posters, essays, videos, songs, art, etc.
