Attention Students and Staff:

Beginning November 23, 2009, until Wednesday, December 23, 2009, Mrs. Morris will assume the responsibilities of a principal here at our school.

During this time frame I will be out of the building, working at the MCPS Office of Human Resources. Additionally, I will visit Beijing, China, from November 21-27, to establish a school partnership with Beijing Middle School No. 5. This is a project that has been in the planning stages since October of 2008. I am really excited about this opportunity for our school.
During period 7 today, you will receive a letter with more details about the principal internship program. Students please share this letter with your parents. Thank you for your continued support. You are some of the best students and staff members on the planet!
