Message from Mrs. Castillo

Grade 1

Thank you to all our families who joined either the first-grade classrooms for a math family engagement event or the fourth-grade PBL share in the cafeteria!  Both events had a fantastic turnout - even with a 2-hour delay.   On Friday, we welcomed Merrifield Orthodontics to share dental health lessons with our kindergarten and third graders.  We welcome another local pediatric dentist to visit with first and second graders next month.  

Lemon Road and FCPS are planning for next year.  Please help us by clicking this link to share your family's intention for the 2025 - 2026 school year.  Having accurate counts allows us to hire the best teachers and plan in advance.  

Looking forward to a great week!
