Congratulations to our 5th Grade Music students on earning their Bucket Drumming Karate certificates!
Throughout the program, students learned how to read music while practicing different notes, rhythms, and musical symbols through bucket drumming activities. Their hard work, focus, and creativity were on full display as they developed new musical skills and confidence along the way.
Great job, students! #MCRaiderNationProuds.

This morning, our first-grade classes visited the library for a special presentation from Mrs. Herrin about her experience as a beekeeper.
Students learned what it takes to care for a hive and explored several tools beekeepers use in their work. They even got a sweet treat at the end—sampling some of Mrs. Herrin’s local honey!
Thank you, Mrs. Herrin, for sharing your time and helping bring learning to life for our students! 🐝

There’s some exciting science happening MCPS
Several classrooms have been busy hatching praying mantises and watching their early life stages up close. The mantis egg cases were generously donated by Sarah Parkin, who collected them while working at a tree farm this winter.
It’s been a fantastic hands-on learning experience as students discover a whole new world of insects right in their classrooms!
