We had a fantastic first day of school! #APSBack2School #APSisAwesome

During my visit to Jefferson IBMYP this morning, I saw students participating in their first fire drill of the school year, a student working on reading with Lexia, students building a replica bike using mixed media, and a group of students learning about moral development.

Today, we remember the 2,977 precious lives stolen from us on 9/11 and reflect on all that was lost in the fire and ash that September morning. The American story itself changed on this day 22 years ago. But what could not — and will not — change is the character of this nation.

Join us on Sept. 14 for a conversation with Javier Zamora to discuss "Solito: Home, Identity and the Immigrant experience" which highlights his journey to the United States. RSVP below for an event reminder⤵️ 🔗: arlingtonva.libcal.com/event/10461574 📍: Barbara M. Donnellan Auditorium
