What a funny week it’s been with our underground staff spirit week! Yesterday was prom, and it was so fun to take prom pics after the staff meeting! We kept the fun coming with beach day today—we’re dreaming of warm weather and always outdoor recess! #SchoolCulture @MCPS

I had the BEST time at the end of year picnic with my red Fox family! Dunk tank, food trucks, mini horse races and inflatables…but the best of all is always the hugs and connecting with the best students in @MCPS and their awesome families. ❤️🦊Thank you to the best PTA ever!
