National School Social Work Week
March 2-8 is National School Social Work Week. Social workers in FCPS help to prevent social, emotional, and behavioral factors from affecting a student's ability to perform at their best. Their primary goal is to remove barriers that prevent a student from fulfilling their academic potential. Social workers are assigned to every school and center in the school system. Most social workers serve one to two sites. Learn more about the role of social workers in FCPS.
We want to thank our very own school social worker, Robyn Rickerby.
Ms. Rickerby is a vital part of our school community, working tirelessly to ensure every student feels supported and heard. Thank you for your empathy, your expertise, and for always being a champion for our students' success

💡Spotlight on Get2Green with Ms. Green
This year, Greenbriar East has launched a new school-wide recycling program with a focus on reducing paper and cardboard waste. Each classroom has been provided with a recycling bin for daily use, and additional collection bins have been placed in the STEAM and Art rooms.
Our 3rd Grade Green Team plays an important role in the program by collecting recycling from classrooms and consolidating materials into larger recycling containers throughout the building. Custodial staff then transfer the collected materials to a designated recycling dumpster.
In addition, we are implementing the TerraCycle program, which allows us to recycle markers, pens, crayons, and other office supplies. The initiative has been highly successful thus far, and we are proud of the positive impact our school community is making.
