As one of our employees recognized for perfect attendance this year, Paula Branner, school secretary at Peak View Elementary , earned a special opportunity to take the day off while Division Superintendent, Dr. Larry Shifflett stepped in to cover her role for the day.

From busy morning arrivals to lunchtime and afternoon dismissal, there was never a dull moment! We appreciate our front office staff who are often the first friendly faces students, families, and staff see each day.

Thank you, Mrs. Branner, for your commitment to RCPS and congratulations on your perfect attendance recognition!

⚽ Staff vs. Student Kickball Showdown! ⚽

Today was one for the books as our staff took on some students in an exciting kickball game! 🎉

Back at our Harvest Fest this fall, a 4th grade student won an auction item for a Staff vs. Student Kickball Game—and today was finally game day! From big kicks to lots of laughs, it was such a fun way to celebrate and make memories together.

A special shoutout to Dr. Shifflett for stepping in as our universal pitcher and helping make the game even more fun for everyone involved! 👏

Thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and cheered us on. We love opportunities like this that bring our school community together. ❤️💙

📸 Check out some highlights from today’s game below!
