How is it FRIDAY afternoon of teacher back-to-school week already? These First Colonial HS teachers are excited to welcome the kids to school on Monday! (Odds are we won’t be wearing the same shirt that day, though.) #WeRFC #ProudtobeaPatriot 🩵💛

Season 10 starts Monday

Day 1, featuring accidental twinning by FC chorus and theatre, and “Kid Backpack Day” with the backpack I brought to First Colonial HS on my first day of school in September 2009 🍎 #WeRFC #PatriotPride #LLbean

FC Performing Arts at Open House 2023! 🎺🎭🎻🎶 🩵💛

Thank you so much!! So proud of how the show came together!

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary …except it wasn’t X at the time. 🙄 I was starting my first JMU College of Education student teaching placement at Elkton Middle School with Mrs. Bobrow! Can’t believe it’s year ten already!!!

Shout-out to the kids for daily reminders to drink more water than iced coffee ☕️

One of the things I love about #ITF24 is getting to meet so many people on the other side of emails! For example Maria from Stage Partners leading this "Play in a Day" workshop ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
