Woodburn Families, 

We are thrilled to share that our very own Ms. Castellucci has been named Region 2 Outstanding Teacher. Ms. Castellucci is now a finalist for the division-wide award. All finalists will interview for the Leadership Team in the spring and winners will be announced at the FCPS Honors Gala on June 12, 2024. Congratulations, Ms. Castellucci! 

We are just a few hours from our family and staff basketball game. Hope to see you there! 

Together We Grow,

Katy & Kelley
