Message from Ms. Kearns
Dear Lake Braddock Families,
We have had a wonderful week celebrating our staff. They work so hard to serve our students and families and we appreciate all they do. If you have not had a chance to thank our staff, please use this link to send them a note: https://www.fcps.edu/careers/recognition-programs/fcps-cares-program.
If you have not had a chance to enjoy a concert or sporting event, there are many opportunities in the coming weeks. The LBSS event calendar below can show you all the enjoyment our campus has to offer.
Go Bruins!
