New Ludlow-Taylor principal holds meet and greet

Principal Cobbs greets future student.

Ludlow-Taylor ES principal Carolyn Cobbs enthusiastically welcomed parents, many with young children in arms, to a get-together in the school’s modernized library. Cobbs, recently a principal in Montgomery County, listened as parents talked about their desires for their children’s education. Then, she explained what Ludlow-Taylor offers and new projects underway, particularly in early childhood development.

Councilmember Tommy Wells, as he welcomed parents, called attention to the newly renovated library, its reading areas and bright colors. He praised the Capitol Hill Community Foundation for its role in making the modernization happen.
