"What you leave behind is not what is
engraved in stone monuments, but

We ended the 3rd Q with a field trip to our food service provider, Jeffrey’s Catering. We learned about the tools they use & the uniforms they wear. We saw many of the same items & signs we see in our classroom. #CPESBelieves@FCPSPreKEHS
Just another absolutely amazing #teacher building beautiful young minds!! And I love that BUSY BUILDERS, BUSY WEEK! (@bloomsburykids) is playing a part in it! ❤
