That's a wrap on the 2022-2023 school year!
As we bid farewell to another year of growth, learning, and memory-making, we want to take a moment to thank everyone- parents, students, teachers, and staff- for making this yet another amazing year at MCPS.
Just 82 days until the 2023-2024 year begins!

On Monday, AHES second grade students spent the day learning outdoors with the Dan River Basin Association!
They began their day on the banks of the Smith River where they released the trout they have been raising as part of DRBA's Trout in the Classroom program, then continued at Philpott Lake where students participated in hands-on lessons designed to teach them the importance of being good stewards of their environment.
Thank you to the DRBA team, Philpott Park Ranger Dillon Brown, AHES STEM teacher Ms. Witt, and Ms. Childress' high school AP biology students who came along to help the younger students!
This trip was made possible by a grant from the National Park Trust's Kids to Parks Day Program.

It felt like the whole city came out for last week's PHES chorus concert!
With moving solos, soaring choruses, and a thrilling performance from the PHES Step Team, it was incredible to see all of our PHES students raise their voices together in song.
