Dear Panther Families,
This was such a fun week focused on reading. Thank you Julie Majkowski for planning the week. Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students enjoyed having Stella Pekarsky, the Sully School Board Member read to them on Monday. Our second graders enjoyed having Mrs. McGrath, former PTES First Grade Teacher, reading to them as well.
We have had lots of warm weather this winter and no real impacts of snow and ice. Even the groundhog expected an early spring. One sign that spring is coming is Daylight Saving Time. Please remember that time springs forward one hour on Sunday morning at 2am. Turn your clocks ahead before you go to bed on Saturday!
We hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Andujar and Ms. Walker

We participate in many drills throughout the year. On March 17, at 9:45am, Poplar Tree will be participating in the statewide Virginia Tornado Drill. Students and staff will be participating in the drill and we will not have anyone available to answer the doorbell or the phones during those few minutes.
Come discover the rich learning, student engagement, and media balance that supports Portrait of a Graduate attributes in our Chantilly Pyramid students! There will be a teacher panel as well as a showcase of learning. Some of our Poplar Tree Paw Tech Squad members have created a video invitation you can check out HERE! Looking forward to seeing you there!
