Skill + Compassion = An Amazing Teacher

May 15th, 2018|Arundel Stories, Our AACPS Stories, Our Community, Teacher Appreciation|

I always love visiting Ryan's class during American Education Week and I always hope to see just a "normal" class (meaning, not anything special because the parents will be there....just a typical lesson.) And I was thrilled I got to see just that today in your classroom. But, let me clarify: What I saw was anything but "normal." It was exceptional.

Retired Educator Continues to Spread Joy

Laura Blankenship

I am an AACPS: Parent | Volunteer, Rippling Woods Elementary School Rippling Woods has went through so many changes in the past 7 years. I want to thank all the staff there for the awesome job. But most importantly Ms. Joan Dugard who is retired from Rippling Woods Elementary School, still comes back on Wednesdays to help out. She spreads so much joy and love to all she crosses. But most importantly she has been a big parent of our school family: both of my daughters had her when they went there (they graduated from Old Mill High School in ’05 and ’07) and then my granddaughter had her. We are thankful for her time and effort.
