Congratulations to our very own Zackary Fiscus for winning the Martin Luther King, Jr. Award for Urbana Elementary School! Students were nominated based on actions and character traits that represent those of Dr. King. Zack was selected from a pool of 5th graders as an individual who stands up for others and always does what is right. We are so proud of him!


Zack will be honored at a ceremony at TJ High School on Tuesday, January 15 at 7 pm. Our UES chorus will also be performing. For more information go to the FCPS websiteHope to see you there!
