Thank you to our PTA and families
Our PTA and many families have been volunteering at the local Pop-Up Pantries. These critical resources support families in our community during this unprecedented time. Thank you, PTA and families...we are #OnePatapsco.

Eighth Grade Celebration
We look forward to celebrating our amazing eighth grade knights as the Class of 2020 this year with a virtual video. The video will be released on June 22 at 9 AM on our website. The video will feature the favorite student slideshow, staff farewells, and a few surprises. In addition, each eighth grade student will receive a virtual certificate and a gift in the mail from the PTA. Our eighth grade knights are wonderful students...we are going to miss them!
If you have not submitted a photo for the slideshow, please do so this week! To contribute to this bank of photos, please visit the 8th Grade Community Course Homepage and look for an assignment titled, “Celebration Video Pictures”. All photos can be uploaded to that “assignment” to be included in the photo bank.
