SPANISH AND FRENCH STUDENTS NEED HOST FAMILIES IN JULY
Make a family memory and open your heart and home this summer! Host a student from Spain or France (ages 13-17) in your home for 3-4 weeks. Learn about their culture while he or she learns about living in an American family just being a part of what you regularly do. We have a variety of programs to suit your family’s work or non-working schedule. Families receive stipends to help out with expenses. We can help work out transportation or vacation concerns. This will be a rich experience for your family!

ASIAN AMERICAN CELEBRATION WINNERS
This weekend at the 22nd Annual Asian American Celebration at the Richmond Convention Center, Maggie L. Walker art students took top prizes in the art contest earning a combined $1,400 for the Maggie L. Walker Arts Department.
Tina Le (Henrico '21) won first place for her painting and Jacqueline Yu's (Henrico '20) artwork was selected for second place. Both these students received their prizes and certificates from 7th District US Congresswoman, Abigail Spanberger. Please join me in congratulating these talented students!
The Foundation Parent May Campaign is well underway! By now you have hopefully heard from parent representatives from your child's class about the ways that you can support the Governor's School Foundation Annual Fund!
We still need to raise more than $110,000 before June 30 in order to provide the same level of enhancements next year! These funds are essential in providing teacher professional development and continuing education, academic enhancements, upgraded technology, and assistance for students in financial need. The Foundation's efforts impact all of our students!
To date, the competition is neck and neck with the Freshmen parents slightly ahead. Help your child's class land on top! Current parent participation is as follows:
Senior parents (2019) 32%
Junior Parents (2020) 31%
Sophomore parents (2021) 31%
Freshman Parents (2022) 33%
We look forward to all that we can accomplish together for MLWGS!
