At its meeting today, the MCPS BOE will announce that the new Downcounty Consortium elementary school will be named in honor of former MCPS teacher, Flora Singer. Ms. Singer had a long career in MCPS in which she taught foreign languages at Albert Einstein High School, Cabin John Middle School, and Walt Whitman High School prior to her retirement in 1993. She also helped create the MCPS in-service course for teachers and staff on the Holocaust.
Former Superintendent Dr. Jerry Weast honored Ms. Singer with an official resolution before the BOE, thanking her for her years of service.
In 2007, she was also
honored at an MCEA RA, to celebrate the publication of her memoir, Flora—I was but a Child, which details her growing up in Belgium
during WWII and her life here in the United States.
The BOE will take this action between 2:30 and 3:30 and can be seen here: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/boe/meetings/live.aspx
