After over a year of uncertainty filled with virtual schooling and hybrid models, many Frederick County students will head back to the classroom this week.
It’s an exciting and anxiety filled time for teachers, students, parents and school staff and we want to take a moment to recognize all of our local educational partners and members who are on this journey with our local students this week.
If you have a moment to thank an educator, wish a student luck or show your support to one of our members in the education space this week, we’re certain they will appreciate it!
