February 2023 Newsletter from Principal Tam

Pink Heart

Dear Westbriar Families,

As we say farewell to February and hello to March, there are a few things we want to highlight from the past month:

Thank you PTA for organizing an interactive and fun love week.  Our staff enjoyed the special recognition and treats.  In addition, we enjoyed reading ways your child/ren love themselves and their families.  Thanks again PTA!

We held a successful in person Spelling Bee on February 16th and want to congratulate Spelling Bee winner:  Arjav Prabhu and Runner Up:  Ashwin Sharma.  Thanks again to our PTA and parent volunteers who helped make this in-person event happen.  We are proud of the 47 students who entered the Spelling Bee this year!

If you and your family was with us in the fall of 2019, prior to closure of schools due to COVID, we hope you will recall that we successfully launched our salad bar that year and students and staff enjoyed it.  I am pleased to announce that starting March 17th, we will be bringing back the salad bar at Westbriar.  We will share with students how to proceed thru the salad bar line prior to entering the lunch line to purchase entrees or sides.  More info will be forth coming. 

Did you know that each FCPS school has a school improvement plan?  If you are interested to check out our school improvement plan for this school year, you can access it at this link: http://isweb.fcps.edu/ESSER/?schoolcode=048&school=Westbriar%20Elementary%20School 

This link also includes how we use ESSER funds to support our school improvement plan.  If you have any questions about the plan or use of ESSER funds, feel free to reach out to Principal Tam.

Enjoy the last day of February.

Sincerely,

Ms. Mary Tam, Principal - mhtam@fcps.edu
