Diverse Interests Explored During Rodeo
 What a morning for the students of GM! The Mustang Rodeo offered two dozen different activities to choose from, ranging from visiting the C-Span bus, packing 10,000 meals for the GIVE Day club, playing chess, learning to crochet and knit, stretching recall with Quiz Bowl, reclaiming pallet wood to make an Adirondack chair, touring the Little City by bus, doing creative writing, enjoying rabbits and birds, working on a community sculpture, and much more. See the complete list here. See more photos below at the link.

Music Makes for Moments of Parental Pride
 The TJ Chorus and Band's Winter Concert on Tuesday night displayed the hard work and growing talent of TJ's before school advanced band and the after school chorus. The band performed three diverse pieces before the audience shifted their view to the other side of the gym for sweet singing by the chorus. The students did a great job, and the overflowing audience showed their appreciation with extended applause. Kudos to Ms. Reid who seamlessly led both groups!

FCCPS Rolls Out New App - The Lasso
"With so much of our lives online, this app perfectly adapts to it. After downloading the app on the release day, I spent the last few weeks playing with the app, testing and viewing the features. Although new, the app has already proved its worth."
