Manor Oaks William Bowie School

My family moved to the area last year. My kids had a smooth transition to their new school, they felt welcomed and part of community right away. They offer a lot of support for all students and the teachers are consistently checking in with us. We are so happy to have our kids at GCP!

Our Lady of the Snows combines a demanding academic curriculum with a supportive environment, ensuring students are fully prepared to excel in high school and beyond. The staff and students greatly benefit from the leadership of their principal, Mr. Venticique, whom the school community lovingly calls "Mr. V."

As a mother, what am I supposed to think?My son reports that he was repeatedly compared to George Floyd, called the N-word, and targeted throughout the school year.The student he says made those comments is still permitted to participate in sports, school activities, and graduation.My son, however, has been been removed from those opportunities and told he cannot walk at graduation.If fighting is truly the reason, why does accountability appear to be different for each child?Why were repeated concerns about racial harassment seemingly ignored?Why does the child who reported being targeted appear to be facing the harshest consequences?And when the other child's parent works at the school, how can families not question whether every student is being treated equally?Those are the questions I still do not have answers to.
