Congratulations to custodian Carly Le Blanc who was recognized as the FCPS 2022 Region 1 Outstanding School-Based Professional Employee and one of the six finalists for the FCPS Outstanding School-Based Operational Employee at this year's FCPS Honors event, held at George Mason University Center for the Arts on June 8th.

As an alumni of FCPS, Carly is proud to give back to her alma mater, Hutchison Elementary. She has had an incredible impact on Hutchison's continued success, especially during such challenging times. She actively builds relationships with colleagues, students, and community members. As equity lead, she seeks to amplify student voice and collaborates with colleagues to provide rigorous opportunities for all. Carly engages caregivers and community members through night and weekend classes and events to expand access to technology and community resources. She creates a culture of safe risk-taking where teachers explore new tools and innovative pedagogy to engage students and support achievement. “I can honestly share,” states her principal, “I'm not sure where we would be without her.”
