Thank you!

A very special "thank you" goes out to all of the parents who came to the Parent & Principal Coffee on Monday, as well as to Mrs. Creef and Ms. Ellis for organizing and attending. We had a wonderful conversation about the importance of respect and what respect should look like for students, staff and families. It is our hope that as a school community we can all be on the same page about what respect is, so that we can ensure that we are always exhibiting it. All of our ideas are below, along with a handout I shared, but we'd love to hear your thoughts. Click here to share.

Football season just ended, now on to basketball season...

This past weekend goes down in my books as an amazing one. My son, a sophomore at Linganore High School, who is also an honor roll student, played in the Division 3A State Championship FInals game at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. His team won the game and ended the season with 13 wins and no losses. What an amazing experience! Basketball season starts tomorrow, so if you don't see me, I'm probably at a basketball game. My son made the varsity basketball team this year too. Proud mom moment...sometimes I just can't contain myself!
