#RecessForAll
Jeff & Jenn Surprise Arcado Elementary School with $10,000!
#RecessForAll's mission is to create an inclusive playground that reflects our classrooms. We want an area that is shaded for the kids who cannot handle being in the sun for long. We want a playground that has no boundaries for kids who have vision challenges or for those who use walkers or wheelchairs. We want there to be play equipment that all kids can use no matter their size or mobility. We want equipment that will help our peers with their sensory needs, their anxiety needs, their language needs, and their social challenges. #RecessForAll wants to create a place where everyone feels like they are a part of our awesome school.
We invite our students in the Arcado family to all join in to make #RecessForAll a reality! To make a donation, please visit: https://www.gcps-foundation.org/donation/des/recessforall

Meet Your Principal, Ms. Young
Posted by Penelope Young on 9/24/2018
Hello! I am Ms. Young the proud Principal of Arcado Elementary School. As part of the new school website format, I will now have a "blog". I have never had a blog before so I find myself very excited. I will use this format to share my thoughts regarding the school year, upcoming events of importance, requests from parents, etc.For now, I have been told that you might want to know a little about me personally.
I am in year 27 of my career as a teacher and school leader. I am a product of the Gwinnett County Public School system. I graduated from Brookwood High School a long time ago. :) I love this school system!!! I have never worked harder but it is all worth it for the children of Gwinnett County and Arcado Elementary School.
I have a large extended family that is very important to me. My niece and nephew are my world! They both attend Dacula High School and are very involved in their community. Both are members of the Dacula High School Student Leadership Team. Many of the students know my sweet dog, Paris Claire. I enjoy taking her on walks around my neighborhood and she loves to attend my nephew's baseball games.
My interests include reading, decorating, spending quality time with my family, and time at the beach to rest and reflect.
