Kilmer Center School Tiger Tales
National School Social Work Week
Many of you know the great work Andrea, our social worker does, to help connect families to the resources they need. Did you also know that our social worker and psychologist lead lessons in our classrooms to teach students self-regulation, advocacy, and social skills? Check out some of the calming strategies our students use.

United States Navy Band: Country Current
The United States Navy Band Country Current is the Navy's premier country-bluegrass ensemble. The group is nationally renowned for its versatility and "eye-popping" musicianship, performing a blend of modern country music and cutting-edge bluegrass. This seven-member ensemble employs musicians from diverse backgrounds with extensive high-profile recording and touring experience in the music scenes of Nashville, New York, New Orleans and more. In the tradition of country music, each member is a skilled performer on multiple instruments.
We look forward to welcoming Country Current on Friday March 17, 2023.

How Are We Doing? Your Feedback Needed!
This week, FCPS will be seeking your feedback on the school division’s progress with developing our new Strategic Plan. Since last fall, thousands of students, staff, families, and community members have contributed to the strategic planning process by participating in focus groups, planning teams, community forums, and surveys. Parents/caregivers and community members will be invited to provide feedback on the work that’s been done thus far by completing a survey. Your input will help us know whether we are headed in the right direction—one that will help ensure a thriving future for every FCPS student.
