Our Grade 4 students had an amazing day of learning this week at Jamestown and Yorktown. Thank you to parents who were able to join in as chaperones, and to our teachers for coordinating all the logistics.

A Message from Ms. Consolla

Last weekend we had 8 sixth grade students participate in the All County Choir concert.  These students were selected to represent our school along with student representatives from all other FCPS schools.  Thank you to Ms. Nicole Gray and Mr. Brennan McQuillen, our general music teachers, for their efforts to prepare these students for this wonderful opportunity. 

Our school was also well-represented this week at the West Potomac Pyramid Art Show, and the level of talent on display was truly amazing. You can see some of the work below. This wonderful showcase would not have been possible without the tireless dedication of our art teacher, Mr. Andrew Green. His passion for fostering creativity and providing a safe space for self-expression is a gift to our school community. 

Our fourth graders also had an adventure to remember this week as they traveled to Jamestown to see up close what they had been studying in social studies. Our second graders traveled into DC to see the amazing displays in the Museum of Natural History. These experiences outside the classroom walls are so vital for sparking curiosity about the natural world, and I am so grateful to our teachers and parent chaperones for making this trip such a seamless and educational success.

Looking ahead, I want to make sure you have a very special date marked on your calendars. Wednesday, May 6, is "Walk, Bike, or Roll to School Day!" This event encourages healthy habits and gives us a chance to appreciate the beautiful neighborhood we call home. We encourage all of our families to participate if you are able. Whether you are lacing up your sneakers, hopping on a bicycle, or grabbing a scooter, it is a wonderful way to start the school day with fresh air and a sense of community spirit. Our buses will drop students off a few blocks away, and our Kiss & Ride will be moved out to Linton. Look for more details next week.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education.
