After School Program: Support Needed
If you live or work in Fairfax County, please contact your School Board and Board of Supervisors representatives and urge them to fully fund MSASP and VIP Summer Camp. These programs are essential to students, families, and the broader community.
Your advocacy made the difference before, and it can again.

Herndon Middle School PTA Statement on Night Hawk
The Herndon Middle School PTA strongly supports the Night Hawk program and the critical role it plays in our school community. Night Hawk provides a safe, structured space after school where students can build friendships, stay engaged, and continue learning beyond the classroom.
For many of our families, programs like this are not optional - they are essential. Our community represents a wide range of economic backgrounds, and access to affordable after-school programming is key to ensuring all students can participate.
A $300 fee per child creates a significant barrier and risks limiting access for the students who would benefit most. We encourage continued consideration of more accessible pricing or financial support options so Night Hawk remains available to all students. We strongly encourage our community to click the link above and advocate for our students.
