Principal’s Message
Dear Wolverine Community,
I hope all Wolverines enjoyed their extended winter break. Due to the snow, we had to reschedule a few events. Those dates will be later in this message.
I want to give a huge “Shout Out” to our custodial staff for their hard work getting our large campus cleared of most snow and ice, making it safe for our students and staff. We greatly appreciate them!
Congratulations to Spanish Teacher Ms. Yamalie Rodgriguez Figueroa!
FCPS CARES submission:
Mrs. Yamalie exemplifies what it means to be an outstanding educator and community leader, making her more than deserving of an FCPS Cares award. She consistently goes above and beyond for her students, colleagues, and the broader community. Her leadership in initiatives like Girl Up, Lend Hope, Hispanic Leadership, Spanish Honor Society, and the K-6 Enrichment class demonstrates her tireless commitment to fostering growth, empowerment, and opportunity for all. Recently, I approached Mrs. Yamalie with a request to support a project creating holiday cards for Choice, Respect, and Independence (CRI), an organization dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities. Without hesitation, she mobilized her four clubs to produce over 300 thoughtful, heartfelt cards, embodying the spirit of generosity and care that defines her character. In addition to her full-time teaching responsibilities, Mrs. Yamalie dedicates her Tuesday and Thursday evenings to providing enrichment classes for the children of parents enrolled in English/Literacy courses, ensuring that education is accessible and enriching for families across generations. Her ability to balance her teaching duties with such extensive extracurricular involvement and community service is nothing short of extraordinary. Mrs. Yamalie is a true superstar whose passion, energy, and commitment make a profound and lasting impact on everyone she encounters. She is an invaluable FCPS community asset and deserves this recognition.
 Before winter break, PE teachers presented their basketball unit and culminated the unit with a basketball tournament. The picture is the winning team with Principal Statz. Way to go Wolverines!
I am excited about the next few months and working with our Wolverines! Have a great weekend!
Jessica Statz, Principal
