 This past Wednesday's Spirit Day was to "Dress Like Someone Who Inspires Us." Some of our school staff chose to dress like Ms. Sivakumar, Office Assistant. Ms. Sivakumar is a longstanding McNair staff member, former community member, and former parent of a McNair Mustang. She is incredibly dedicated to serving our students, families, community members, and staff. We appreciate the contributions Ms. Sivakumar has made to the McNair community over the past 20+ years!
Please join me in congratulating Vedant, 5th grade Mustang from Ms. Freer's class, for winning our schoolwide Spelling Bee! Vedant will represent our school community at FCPS' Spelling Bee in a few weeks!
