Dear CCPS Families,
As we embrace the vibrant month of October, I want to celebrate some exciting events and achievements within our school community.
First, we are proud to share that our Teacher of the Year representative was recognized among the top seven educators from 24 counties at the Maryland State Teacher of the Year Gala on October 4. This remarkable honor highlights the dedication and excellence of our educators. Please join me in congratulating our representative, Ms. Brittany Rigdon, for this outstanding accomplishment.
Additionally, October is filled with school spirit as we celebrate homecoming events. Seeing our students and families come together to support our teams and foster a sense of community has been wonderful. We look forward to more engaging activities as the month unfolds.
On October 2, we hosted a highly successful College and Career Day featuring 89 colleges and organizations. This event, which was well-received by our students, provided them with valuable insights and opportunities to explore their future paths and reassured us about their bright future. We are proud to support our students as they consider their next steps.
Next Wednesday, we will observe Unity Day, dedicated to fighting bullying. I strongly encourage everyone to wear orange in support of this vital cause. By doing so, we can make a powerful statement and promote kindness and inclusivity within our schools.
Lastly, throughout October, our schools will collect donations for breast cancer research. We will culminate our efforts with Pink Out Day on Friday, October 25. I encourage everyone to participate and show their support for this vital cause.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement in our school community.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Lawson, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
