@HolmesMS_FCPS@PoeMiddleSchool Please make sure our rising 9th grader athletes don't miss this important opportunity at AHS on Tuesday, June 4! We look forward to welcoming our incoming Atoms!
We had @brianstolarz, Lawyer and Author of Grace and Justice on Death Row speak to our @HolmesMS_FCPS AVID classes today. “I want to inspire you to be a lawyer, or a doctor, or something to make a difference.” We can’t wait to see your documentary on @netflix!
We are so lucky to @PhilipW_GMU from @GeorgeMasonU University Career Services to talk about career exploration. Using people for inspiration and resources to help us get where we are going. Also focused on our strengths by sharing compliments and love to our fellow students!
Today in AVID, 8th grade students learned how to cook a basic meal! Mr. Smith showed the students how to make over easy eggs and grilled cheese sandwiches. These skills will definitely pay off when they are on their own in college (or this weekend cooking for their families! 😜)
AVID teacher, Pete Smith, presented a strategy to incorporate the IB learner profile traits and further students’ reflections using Cornell Notes during our @HolmesMS_FCPS faculty/staff meeting!
@DocNix12 - thank you for granting this moment for our @HolmesMS_FCPS AVID teacher, Mr. Smith. He regularly shows videos of the @gmugreenmachine in our @holmesms_avid classes and is a huge fan. Please come visit!
We stopped by the @VolgenauSchool of Engineering and the School of Art and saw a college classroom: “That’s it? Oh, they are normal and not as scary as movies make them out to be.”
