Our staff social at the park was a nice way to connect and enjoy a meal together! We missed those who were out of town and unable to make it. @RCES_PIHaden #relationshipsmatter ❤️

Dr. McKnight visited the teachers at Flower Valley Elementary School and thanked them for their efforts and unwavering support to all students as we prepare for the new school year.

[Kim Haden @MES_PrinHaden]

Preservice Day 2 included a Community bus tour, connecting with students, rich conversations about literacy, math, SEL, and Implicit Bias! We were honored to have Dr. McKnight, Dr. Redman Jones, and Mr. Stockton join us to get the FULL FVES experience! #BucketFull #ThoughtfulGift

Preservice Day 1 was all about connecting and reconnecting to one another and our “why”! It was great to see the Rockville Cluster come together as one to kick the week off, unified for our students! @AngieFish_FVES @FlowerValleyES

[Kim Haden @MES_PrinHaden]

Loved the infamous “bus tour” as part of the AP1 cohort today! The passion and vision of Transportation, Food Services, and the Print Shop for how they serve the MCPS community is vital to our operations! Thank you for the opportunity!!!

[Jewel Sanders @DirectorOSSI]

Enjoyed my time yesterday at ⁦@FlowerValleyES⁩. The leadership team collaborated with parents to discuss student achievement through an ABAR lens!

Today I walked out of my role as Coordinator in the Montgomery Virtual Academy and will be stepping into the role of Assistant Principal @FlowerValleyES. I have grown so much in the past two years and cannot thank my colleagues enough for every minute of our adventure.

[Kim Haden @MES_PrinHaden]

I am so grateful for this opportunity to hear @docspeaks speak this past week. I will carry his words (and actions 😂) with me as I embark on a new school year in a new role! Thanks @MCAAPMD for making this happen! #nextlevel

[Dr. Adolph Doc Brown|Psychologist + Thought Leader @docspeaks]

🙏🏾 I’m #grateful to have presented the #keynote today @MCAAPMD We addressed “beyond all limits” referring to pushing ourselves beyond what we thought was possible, breaking through barriers and achieving our goals. We also “celebrated leadership” by recognizing and honoring the qualities of effective leadership, such as vision, courage, empathy, and the ability to inspire and motivate others. It's about acknowledging the importance of leadership in achieving success, both individually and as a team. Together, these concepts encourage us to strive for excellence and to be the best leaders we can be.
