A few schools shorthanded on this December Friday. Although amazing school staff have it well-under control, our central team is doing what we can to help. Covering classes is one thing, but there’s always something special about duty for 7th Grade Lunch!
Want to sell a career pathway program to a room full of 100 middle and high school counselors? Have the students do the talking! They are our greatest ambassadors! #ROTC

Congrats @FCPS_BCaulfield and the entire Oakdale Bears community on being recognized as a 2023 @NatlBlueRibbon school! The only high school earning this honor in MD in 2023. Well-deserved!
Shoutout to Mr. Erb’s 4th period class @UMSHawks! After touring classes a few weeks ago, his kids proceeded to blow up my Inbox, advocating on many topics. Including pizza. Student voice matters, so today I delivered.. pizza! Well-played Mr. Erb, & thanks Ms. Hawkins!
Our Hawks in Mr. Erb’s 8th grade Algebra 1 class received pizza today personally delivered by @FCPSCurriculum. Mr. Murphy rewarded our Hawks for voicing their opinions and reinforcing to them that their voice matters. Great life lesson! @FCPSMaryland
Something special about being a part our Outdoor School @FCPSMaryland. And also having a chance to stop by unannounced while your own kid is on the trip!!! Shoutout to 5th grade teacher Ms. Moreno, our Outdoor School lead Mr. Q, and our OS team! @FCPSSecSci
Thanks to our partners at the Bar Association, @Fred_MD_Police Chief Lando, our own @FCPSMaryland attorney Michelle Dauksha, & other volunteers for an awesome Civics & Law Academy today! Another student program brought to you by our mighty social studies team!
