Congratulations to first grader Vera Reynolds!! Vera won a Holiday Card Contest at RSM US Foundation and chose Armstrong to receive the $1.000.00 donation prize to enhance the 1st & 2nd grade classroom libraries. Thank you Vera!

FCPS Cares is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. All FCPS Cares submissions were reviewed and winners were selected for the month of May from each region and the central office to receive extra recognition for their work. Armstrong's very own Ms. Stephanie Howell was chosen as a winner from Region 1! Ms. Howell just finished her 13th year teaching at AES!

Students learned about persuasive writing and media messages while creating a pitch for a new invention and designing its advertisement! The project culminated in a real "shark tank" experience where students presented to a panel of "sharks" who were local business employees ready to give feedback on their inventions.
