A class of Arlington Public Schools' students from Patrick Henry Elementary School – Mr. Erwin’s 3rd grade "Learning Legends" – shared their year-long Columbia Pike community project before the recessed County Board meeting on June 20th. The effort included 3-dimensional models of Pike neighborhoods, an assessment of strengths and weaknesses, and an oral history captured from current residents. |
