I am asking our entire school community to stay involved in the
current MCPS budget process working its way through the Board of
Education and eventually to the County Council. Your help and
advocacy will be needed to fight for the needs of our cluster schools.
One of our parents, Mr. Juan Del Cid, will be presenting testimony.
More info will be forthcoming from PTA on ways to support.
Finally, on behalf of Mrs. Clark-Harrison and the entire staff, I
would like to wish each family a very happy holiday season filled with
food, fellowship and good times. Safe travels to those who are hitting
the roads, enjoy time with family and friends, and see everyone back on
Monday, January 4th, 2016.
Sincerely,
Mr. Generlette
Principal
