Family Fun at the Bowling Alley!
Our Foundation Learning Center staff had a fantastic time hosting a family bowling outing! This family activity was a great way for staff to connect with the families of our students outside of an educational setting, helping foster school community and promote student outcomes.
We’re so grateful to all of the families who joined us and helped us make the day a fun success!
Stay tuned to see how we collaborate and celebrate our families throughout the 2026-2027 school year.

Our Foundation Learning Center students had an incredible time participating in the Thrive 3000 Cooking Class at Prince George's Community College! Through this hands-on experience, students learned valuable culinary techniques, explored healthy meal preparation, and strengthened important life skills in a fun and engaging environment.
From measuring ingredients to creating delicious dishes, every recipe was an opportunity to build confidence in the kitchen. We're proud of our students for embracing new experiences and discovering the joy of cooking!
A special thank you to Prince George's Community College and the Thrive 3000 program for providing this enriching opportunity for our students.
Today, we celebrate the incredible parents and caregivers who are the heart of The Foundation Schools community.
Your unwavering love, encouragement, advocacy, and partnership make a lasting difference in the lives of our students. Every achievement, every milestone, and every step forward is strengthened by your dedication and belief in your child's potential.
Today and every day, we honor and appreciate all that you do. Your commitment helps build strong foundations that become bright futures.
Happy Parent Appreciation Day! We are grateful for you.
