My second visit today took me to @drew.apsva.us, where I sat with students engaged in a puzzle activity in Ms. Mallory's kindergarten class. It was great to explore a variety of classrooms where students are settling into the new school year.

🚀✨ Happy Hispanic Heritage Month, Dragons!
We kicked off the celebration on our Dragons News Network this morning! 🎥🐉 Today we highlighted Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman to go to space! 🛰️🌍 Let’s honor her amazing journey! 💫
#HispanicHeritageMonth
Today we pause to remember September 11, 2001, a day that profoundly impacted our community here in Arlington and across the nation.
We honor the lives lost, the families forever changed and the courage of those who responded. We will never forget.
