In this Friday Message you will find:
Floris Families,
WOW! What a week. It started with the holiday on Monday, then a snow day, delayed opening, really cold temperatures, and now more snow today. Winter is definitely here.
A HUGE thanks goes out to our custodial team for their hard work clearing the sidewalks, the path for the walkers, and around the blacktop to assist with dismissal. We are very blessed to have one of the best teams in FCPS.
As a reminder, next Thursday, January 25, is the last day of the quarter and a two-hour early release for students. Also, schools are closed for students on Friday, January 26, for a teacher workday.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Holly Walker, Principal, hjwalker@fcps.edu
