Physicals for Rising 9th Grade Athletes
If you have a rising 9th grader who anticipates participating in FCPA high school athletics, they need a physical exam before participating in summer tryouts, conditioning and training camps. FCPS’s Athletic Trainers offer physical exams from qualified health care professionals for a fee ($50 in advance, $60 at the exam) as a fundraiser for the athletic trainers program.
Last Date at local high school: June 6th at Marshall HS.

Junior Optimist Club
Students can earn service hours by participating in fun monthly projects and helping better our community with the Junior Optimist Club, a new international service club at Thoreau this year that exists in many elementary and high schools, including Madison and Marshall. We meet the 1st/3rd Thursday of every month in Ms. Gabro’s room, A124, during second session (3:10pm-4:05pm) after school. We welcome any new students who may drop by whenever they’d like!
School Store Help
We are looking for volunteers to assist with the Thoreau School Store. It’s open during lunch hours and sells school supplies, etc. for our students and to raise money for our school.
