Small American flags planted in a grassy field with sunlight filtering through. Text overlay reads “Memorial Day – We remember and honor the lives lost.” The Arlington Public Schools logo is displayed at the bottom.
Today, we honor and remember the brave service members who gave their lives in service to our country.
As a community with many military-connected families, we recognize the deep meaning Memorial Day holds. We stand with you in reflection, gratitude and remembrance.
Big thanks to Ms. Almanza from the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions for Zooming with our 5th graders to support them in learning more about @theglobalgoals Goal 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth. #PYPX2025 @randolphelementary.bsky.social

We are so proud of our NBCTs who participated with REACH for Uganda over their spring break!
Check out @mrskowalevicz.bsky.social (Randolph), Megan Zelasko (Campbell), and Kristin Brynsvold (Tuckahoe). Our NBCTs are doing great things and we are proud!

Traveled to Uganda with REACH for Uganda. While there, we led teacher workshops, observed in classrooms, worked with students, and worked one-on-one with many of the teachers. It was so inspiring! #EducatorExplorer #LifelongLearner 🌍🇺🇬

Today @randolphelementary.bsky.social first graders took a walking field trip to Douglas Park as part of our Unit of Inquiry “How We Express Ourselves”. Students took data about natural resources, picked up trash, identified different types of rocks, & mapped where we found trash.

As part of our Unit of Inquiry “How We Express Ourselves”, 1st graders went outside to pick up litter on the @randolphelementary.bsky.social schoolgrounds. We then sorted the litter into trash/recyclables and used tally marks to track our counting. 🗑️♻️ #ScienceRocks #FunInFirst
