 Our students “camped out” with great books during Camp Read-A-Lot for Read Across America Day!
From flashlights and cozy blankets to big smiles and even bigger stacks of books, our readers showed that there’s no better adventure than getting lost in a great story. We are so proud of their enthusiasm and love of reading!
Please consider recognizing an OES staff member!
A quick way to recognize an employee or team? Share an FCPS CARES! Families, colleagues, and students are all invited to submit. The FCPS CARES is automatically sent to the recipient(s) and their supervisor, and is posted on fcps.edu. Additionally, each month one school in our region wins a staff celebration from HR. Encourage your community to show our staff that their hard work is appreciated!
