The staff at Dogwood was beyond kind and supportive! I felt so welcome and I enjoyed my time as a member of their school family. ❤

This Resource Teacher Rocks! Ms. Schaffer was placed on loan to Dogwood as a 5th grade teacher. She traveled from the PA line, left her small kids, came early & stayed late, purchased supplies, & delivered quality instruction daily with a smile! You will be missed! @nashaeb

[Valerie Schaffer @VSchaffer]

You know it was a great session of Art Camp when your kiddo comes out with marker and paint everywhere, including his legs & shoes. Thanks @visualartsbcps for a great first week!

@DocAdams1020 Meghan Trainor's new Christmas album is fun. Even though it came out a while ago, CeeLo Green's Christmas album is another good one.

[Valerie Schaffer @VSchaffer]

@Jennzer @dstovenour Yes, all of this!

[Valerie Schaffer @VSchaffer]

@MissCook_BCPS @MrsStacyBarry @MrsRothTCS @Flipgrid I just tried to duplicate a topic and I am running into the same issue, so it's not just you! @Flipgrid's status page says everything is operational, so I'm not sure what's going on. https://t.co/qa4a54BB5L I'll keep trying though!

[BCPS LMPET @BCPS_LMPET]
