Our team has exciting math games for our families. We will bring these games to you at the North Four Corners Park and the McDonald Knolls Early Childhood Center. Here’s how it works: We teach the students how to play engaging math games and give them the supplies to take home. The students can teach the parents, caregivers, siblings, and other family members. This year we will have a math game for younger siblings, too. We hope you can join us!

Lost items will be displayed by the main entrance on tables outside on Monday, October 14, 2024. Please feel free to stop by to recover any lost items. Encourage your children to check the tables to see if they can find any lost items. Additionally, please label your child’s items to avoid the Lost and Found. Thank you.

Air conditioning will be turned off and heat will be made available at our school between October 15 and November 4, 2024, depending on weather conditions. It will take approximately three weeks to convert all MCPS facilities.

Holiday Giving Project forms were sent home last week. Extra copies are in the office. The Holiday Giving Project is where local non-profit agencies, faith-based organizations, service organizations and government agencies come together each year to offer food and other items around the holidays. Donations of food, gift cards, and toys come from private and public donations. The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) hosts the referral database, facilitates the work of the Coalition, monitors outcomes, and provides overall Project coordination.

This project is aimed at our families who are the most in need and is an opportunity to support families over the holiday season. Families have the opportunity to sign up to receive gift cards, food, toys and other items during the holidays. Families can sign up for support during Thanksgiving, the December holidays, or both. One form should be filled out per family and returned to school (to the teacher or Ms. Schechter). The last day to submit the form back to me to receive Holiday Giving help is October 16th!
