 Even though last week was short, we squeezed in a lot of learning! See some of our students that joined Dr. Reid in recognizing "tropical day" - too bad the weather didn't agree! Tomorrow is a snow day and schools & offices are closed. Please check the FCPS website for any additional school alerts.
Thank you to the families that came on Monday & Tuesday to help shovel our blacktop and playground so students could enjoy outdoor recess last week. We hope this snow melts more quickly! See the photo below of our creative indoor recess options offered by our kindergarten team. The students had a great time at their choice activities.
Our fourth graders enjoyed sharing their writing with family members last week and our Odyssey of the Mind teams rocked their competition yesterday - congratulations! Thank you again to so many of our parents that join our events and enhance our partnership.
Have a great week ~ Mrs. Castillo

 Yesterday five teams representing 36 Lemon Road students competed at our Odyssey of the Mind Regional Competition at Park View High School in Loudoun County. Thank you to the PTA for funding this enrichment and for Mrs. Falkler for leading the initiative at Lemon Road. A huge thank you to all our coaches who stepped up to support each team - this is a big time commitment and we couldn't do it without you. Congratulations to all Lemon Road OM participants and thank you for representing our school! We are so proud of you! Three of our Division 1 teams placed. Here is a link to the results.
