Floris Families,
WOW- such an amazing week as we celebrated kindness and love. Thank you to the PTA for the yummy treats for the staff on Tuesday, and thank you to Ms. de Kramer for the Kindness Bingo activities.
Please remember that each time you come to Floris for a meeting, to have lunch, to volunteer, or to pick up your child, you must have your photo ID available to show at the door and to sign in on the Visitor Management System. Thank you in advance for bringing your ID, as we continue to keep a strong focus on student safety and school security.
Monday is Presidents' Day, a holiday during which all FCPS Schools and Offices are closed. We will see everyone on Tuesday.
Have a wonderful long weekend,

Lunch and Learn with the Floris Counseling Team
Monday February 27, 12:00pm-1:00pm
“Collaborative and Proactive Solutions”
Engaging Cooperation
We had a great discussion together in January about listening with empathy and validating feelings to help us engage with our children. We want to continue the conversation. We welcome all who are available to participate, even if this is your first time.
The format will be the same: Bring your lunch if you want, and we will enjoy more collaborative conversations on how we can all work together to support the social and emotional needs of our Floris students. We look forward to meeting with you!
Sincerely,
Sarah de Kramer, James Duffield, and Maggie Seneca
Please RSVP to Maggie Seneca, maseneca1@fcps.edu, if you plan to attend.
FLORIS' "MATH" EAGLES FLY!
On Saturday February 4, eight of Floris Eagles' mightiest mathematicians traveled to Chantilly High School to participate in the annual PTA Sponsored MathCounts competition!
Our Floris 6th-grade team (Kevin S, Ishaan G, Aayush M, Jasmine W, Abhinav P, Abhijit C, Aaron H, and Rasem Y) went head-to-head in solving math problems while competing against more than 200 students in 6th through 8th grade from 23 schools across the county:
All of the Floris Mathletes performed amazingly! Special recognition was awarded to Kevin S. and Ishaan G., who placed in the top 25% of all participating students.
Congratulations to our Floris Eagles 6th grade Math superstars!
