Character Day is this Friday, October 29 (not November 29 as you may have seen in News You Choose - we're anxious for Thanksgiving, we guess!). Dress as your favorite character from a book, movie, or TV show! #SCAspiritday

Now that things are more settled, happy to introduce our new bundle of joy and Wolfpack member 🐺, Elizabeth "Lizzy" Boateng! Born 2/23/2021. Mom, baby, and family are doing well. Mrs. B is missing her students, but enjoying the snuggles with this sweet girl!

Families...please complete the Return to Learn survey by this Friday, June 19th. FCPS wants to know your opinion!
I know a lot of white educators who have been very passionate about having and modeling a growth mindset. This is how we embraced a blended learning revolution. A student centered learning revolution. The antiracist revolution is long overdue.
Step 1: Have a growth mindset. #CourageOverComfort Step 2: It is not easy work but we must #DoTheWork in whatever capacity we can ❤️ It’s not a moment, it’s a movement. The time is now to educate ourselves, stand for justice, and use our voices. #BlackLivesMatter ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
