The Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School (7130 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church) PTA is hosting one of its family-focused spaghetti dinners this Friday, Oct. 18 at 5:30 p.m.

The timing of the “Friend-Raiser” dovetails with the chance to head down to the Mustang stadium in time for the football team’s kickoff against Central High School at 7 p.m.

Donations for dinner are accepted with all proceeds going to support the students’ GIVE Day fundraising efforts. Current 5th graders and their families are welcome to come and start becoming familiar with Henderson.
