We love our outstanding Custodial Staff! They work so hard to keep our school looking beautiful! Thank You to our entire custodial staff! 🧹🧽🫧
Bonus Shout out to Ms Wasineus and her Leadership students for designing and building this outstanding showcase! 💙💛


Mr. Cook’s 7th Grade Treble Choir was joined by Western Branch alumni and Emmy Award winner, Patrice Covington! She spoke to students about her professional journey which has included work on cruise ships, Broadway, television, and film! Most recently, she was featured as Ursula in a professional production of “The Little Mermaid,” so it was only fitting that OUR Ursula got to sing for her! She also spoke about the amazing opportunities at the Governor’s School for the Arts! Thank you for your inspirational words and encouragement, Ms. Covington! #OnceABruinAlwaysABruin

🎉 Join us in saluting the service of over 800 school board members in Virginia for School Board Appreciation Month! The 2024 theme — The Heart of Education: Our School Board — acknowledges that the school board is at the heart of the education system, guiding it with kindness and care. The month-long observance is an opportunity to build a stronger understanding of the crucial role school boards assume in a constitutional republic. School boards voluntarily tackle the enormous job of governing public school divisions, while preserving the core of our democratic values. #CPSCelebrates
