Greetings Fishburne Family!

We have several excellent events coming up next week that you all should know about.

On Tuesday, November 10, 2009, at 3:30 pm we will honor Richard L. Meador ’58 during a Classroom Dedication Ceremony in the FMS Quadrangle. Margaret Meader, his wife, worked with Mrs. Susan Johnson to honor Richard’s passing by providing the funds for this tremendous gift. A reception will follow the ceremony with selected Cadets in the FMS Foyer.

On Saturday, November 14th, Hyde Leadership School will travel to Waynesboro to play the Caissons Football Team in the Capital Area Football Conference Championship game. Kickoff will be at 2:00pm.

This is Fishburne’s second CAFC game in the last two years. The Caissons lost to Model 52-26 last year. This is the 4th year of existence for the conference, which also includes Massanutten Military School, Hyde, Model, Fredricksburg Christian, and Fishburne.
