The first-ever Future Forward Fest was a massive success! It was incredible to watch our students lead the way and showcase the creativity happening in GCPS classrooms every day.

Big thanks to Braise-N-Smoke, the dedicated ITC and librarian teams, and the amazing community who showed up in force. We couldn’t be prouder of the innovation on display.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our vision. Same time next year? 😉 🤖

Kindness is a team sport at Randolph Elementary! 🏆✨
We loved seeing these Roadrunners go all out for Kindness Spirit Week. From working out problems in jerseys to dreaming of kindness in their PJs, these students proved that being kind is always a win. Way to lead by example, Randolph! 💚💛

Coding + Science = The Ultimate Power Couple! 🧪✨In Mr. Baird's classroom, students are exploring where technology and science meet. By leveraging a SchoolAI space, students engaged in a hands-on tutorial with RAISE to animate their names through code.

More than just bouncing letters - it's about building computational thinking that translates across every scientific discipline. 🔬

The Junkyard Pups just crushed it at the FTC Chesapeake State Regional Tournament! Not only did we hit a season-high score of 219 points, but the defensive strategy was a total game-changer.

Beyond the scoreboard, our students were the talk of the event. Judges and coaches couldn’t stop praising their professionalism and sportsmanship!

Huge thanks to our students and families for an incredible season. We couldn’t be prouder! ⚙️🏆
