Black History Month is a time to honor the significant contributions of African Americans who have shaped our history. We are proud that many of our schools are named for trailblazers whose achievements in education, civil rights, the arts, and other fields continue to inspire future generations. Each school stands as a testament to the work, sacrifice, and resilience of these remarkable visionaries.

🚨 Attention, MWS Families! 🚨 Robotics & STEM Clubs on pause this week! 🤖✨ Plus, League Championship Rescheduled! Check out the updates!


Hey Mount Washington Families! 🌟

Due to our Robotics instructor’s illness and the rescheduled STEM Maryland Science Olympiad Club, our Thursday Robotics and STEM Clubs are canceled for this evening.

What You Need to Know:

Pick-Up: Students in Robotics or STEM Clubs who are parent pick-up, bus riders, or walkers will follow their normal dismissal procedures.

Aftercare: Students in the UEC before-and-aftercare program will also follow their usual routes.

Important Robotics Club Update:

⚙️ VEX IQ Robotics League Rescheduled: Due to inclement weather and ongoing snow removal at the facilities, the League Championship matchup originally scheduled for Saturday, February 7th, is now moved to Saturday, February 14th. The event will take place at the Baltimore City Public Schools Professional Development Center, 2500 East Northern Parkway, Baltimore, MD 21214.

Looking Ahead: We’ll return to our normal Thursday schedule next week.

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we navigate these changes. We truly appreciate our MWS community! 💙🐾
