In honor of Veterans Day, first graders enjoyed a live zoom with Mrs. Coleman's cousin, Lieutenant Colonel Oles, a Marine Corps Veteran. Oles taught students all about his duties as a marine, including flying Osprey for three deployments. He is currently the Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Operations Officer. Thank you Lieutenant Col. Oles for your service!
An EXTRA SPECIAL THANK YOU to our very own Mrs. Dettbarn for her service in the Navy! You and all Veterans are very much honored and very much appreciated for your service to our country! 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Today, we honor and salute all of our veterans. Thank you for your dedication to our country. You are an inspiration to us all, and we will forever be in debt to you.
WCPS families, please note that due to a glitch with PowerSchool, some student report cards sent home today may have teacher comments with a question mark by mistake. Please ignore this extra punctuation. We appreciate your understanding.

First grade students recently went on a field trip to Wright's Market in Mardela Springs. They learned about the life cycle of pumpkins and observed the various stages of this cycle. Students also learned about the family farm and the various crops grown there. The best part of their day was getting to pick their own pumpkins off the vines.
Did you know you can give input on the next WCPS calendar before it's even designed?
