The 5th Grade Social Studies Classes are heading out West for the next several weeks!!!



Miss Davis has a mystery reader come into her class every Friday. Her 1st graders get a clue every day leading up to Friday to see if they can guess who it is. This week it was Mrs. Miller! They loved the book choice this mystery reader chose to read!!


Kindergarten had a super time during "Dr. Day"! They got to hear from Dr. Hunter and spend their day being Doctors in the classroom!






Today and always, thank you for all you did for this country! Raider Nation is grateful for your service and sacrifices. HAPPY VETERANS DAY!


The verdict is in... and it has been determined that the MCPS Thanksgiving Lunch was very yummy!
