Good Morning!  I am off to Central Office for a Joint Principals Mtg.

FYI...Mr. Holmes will be cleaning out the fridge in the lounge this Friday, so be sure to get anything you want out of there by 1:00.  He will begin cleaning it out a few times a month:)
Reminder for those interested... the Transfer Fair will be Wednesday, May 3rd from 4:00-5:30 at North Forsyth HS.

I hope that EOG Review is going well for all 3-4-5th graders.  The EOG test is approaching fast.  Every minute counts.

Just another FYI from Star 3. They have extended the observation deadline another week, so if you didn't have your 2nd observation, it will be coming soon.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND FIND SOME JOY IN EVERY ONE OF YOUR STUDENTS!!!! You impact their lives every day.

Book Fair

Family Affairs

I am sad to inform you that Karin's mother-in-law, Mrs. Binkley passed away this weekend.  She was truly a great lady and was surrounded by her family.  The funeral will be Wednesday. Please keep the Binkley's in your prayers as they navigate this difficult time.

HAPPY SECRETARY'S DAY for our wonderful administrative staff. Jennifer, Audrey, Nohora and Gwen do an exceptional job everyday taking care of all of us!!!   Make sure to let them know how much you appreciate them.  It would also be nice for the children to make them a card, if you have time. Testing Continues.  Remind students about quiet hallways. Please pick up your Ron Clark tickets today.  I still have some available.  If you have not seen him in person, it is a real motivating treat!  Melissa was here late yesterday to continue landscaping and she put down pine straw. It really looks beautiful.
