Poplar Tree has some amazing young scientists. A huge thank you to Mrs. Melchiori and her team for all of the hard work to make the Science Expo happen.
 Lots of fun reading ideas at Poplar Tree. Uncle Slam visits Poplar Tree and even appears on the news to encourage reading.
Poplar Tree is participating in
Jump Rope for Heart!
Our goals for
this program are to increase students’ knowledge of how their hearts work,
teach the importance of heart-healthy habits and to raise funds to support
cardiovascular research and education. Your child will receive a free
glow-in-the-dark wristband just for signing up and have access to fun and
educational games regarding healthy choices. All donations will be online
and the last day is March 23, 2018. The Jump Rope for Heart event will
take place in PE classes the week of March 19 and earned prizes will be given
out throughout the month.
Questions- please contact Mrs. Baranowski at cvbaranowski@fcps.edu
