PTAppreciation
Thank you to Elizabeth Masturzo Baldeon for arranging all of our PTA-funded assemblies at Stenwood.  Thus far, the students have enjoyed Mad Science and 1-2-3 Con Andres assemblies due to Elizabeth's efforts. 

Thank you also to Jenny Kronzer for tirelessly counting all of our BoxTops -- that is NOT an easy job!!

Community News

Last week, County Executive Ed Long proposed a mere 3 percent increase, which would cause a $68 million budget deficit for FCPS. This will require drastic budget cuts that will impact the quality of our schools.
Don't like this plan? SPEAK UP!
Here's how you can help FCPS get the funding it needs!

On Friday evening, the Thoreau community will come together for an evening of fun and food.
