Aubrey Midgley Featured in FCPS’s “Our Heroes” Series
Aubrey Midgley, administrative assistant to Principal Lisa Barrow, was featured this week in FCPS’s “Our Heroes” series! Take a look at this video about all the ways, large and small, that Mrs. Midgely works to keep our Cooper community running smoothly and focused on our students.
Aubrey is invaluable to the PTO in myriad ways. She sends our weekly newsletters, coordinates logistics and tech for PTO meetings, is an endless source of information for both the exec board and parent population, and as a conduit of information both to and from Principal Barrow. The PTO exec board is so thankful for her partnership with us! An accolade well-deserved!
