A dozen students received dental services at this school week! No time off of work for parents, no missing school for students, and no transportation issues to prevent them from getting to an appointment! Win-win-win! 👍 @velasquez_mcps @JacksonRoadAP @CSconnect_MCPS

☀️ Summer is a wonderful time for middle and high school students to participate in Student Service Learning (SSL) opportunities and earn hours towards meeting the 75-hour state graduation requirement. Here are some fun in-person opportunities for July: mcpsmd.info/4lMgf16.
Good to see our ELO students wearing their attendance bracelets. They earn one for each week. 4 gets you a grand prize the last day! Gave out over 100 last Friday! @LearnerDSLI @BelPrePandas @CSMCPS_Leader @CSconnect_MCPS @MCPS
It may be summer, but that doesn’t mean our students aren’t here 🌼🌿 GMS is in full bloom thanks to our Beautification Summer Program! From flowers to garden beds, our Vikings are making campus shine 💙💛 #VikingPride #GMSinBloom
Grateful for our partnership with @MannaFoodCenter so we can delivery nearly 50 weekend food bags to our families who have students attending ELO/SAIL Summer School Program! @velasquez_mcps @JacksonRoadAP @CSconnect_MCPS @RWDodd #impact #springbrookcluster
Another great time had by all at Bel Pre’s Play Date at the Playground. Building Relationships can be so much fun. @BelPrePandas @CSMCPS_Leader @LearnerDSLI @MCPS @CSconnect_MCPS
Thanks for the invitation to join your pool playdate today @AIMforPower. While the kids swam, I heard some great insights and feedback from their families. I hope to take what I heard back to school and put some of these ideas into action. #staytuned @HHESHUSKIES @CSconnect_MCPS
