📚🐾 Welcome Back, Poplar Tree! 🐾📚

What a wonderful first day of school! Our Panthers are back in the building, ready for a year of learning, growing, and showing their PRIDE! ❤️🖤

This year, we’re challenging every Panther to show their Poplar Tree PRIDE by being:

🌟 P — Prepared: I am ready to learn and work.
💗 R — Respectful: I treat others with kindness.
💪 I — Independent: I take charge of my actions.
🏆 D — Determined: I don’t give up when things get hard.
🤝 E — Empathetic: I understand how others are feeling.

From meeting new teachers and reconnecting with friends to learning new routines and exploring new classrooms, today was just the beginning of an amazing year ahead.

Here’s to a year of learning, kindness, resilience, and plenty of Panther PRIDE! 🐾❤️🖤

Happy First Day, Poplar Tree! Fairfax County Public Schools🍎✏️📚
