As we wrap the school year, the Ford County Attendance Initiative would like to encourage students to finish the year strong! As we move into April and May we encourage all students to set goals for their attendance, academics, and personal growth. Talk to your child about how they can finish the 2024-2025 school year strong by attending school regularly and keeping up with their academics. Help them set personal goals to ensure that these goals are being met. Be Present, Be Powerful, Ford County.
This is a reminder that we have our annual Open House at the elementary school next Thursday, April 24th from 5:00-6:30 and the 5th grade band concert begins at 7:00 across the street. We look forward to seeing you here!
Also, only 15 hours left to donate to the Walk-A-Thon.

Only one more day to donate to the Walk-A-Thon. 2nd grade is currently in the lead as a grade level, but there are several grade levels who are right there with them. The winning grade level will get ice cream bars and the classroom that donates the most will get a limited edition Falcon Beanie Baby pictured (Donated by Debbie's Gifts & More) and will get to make Ms. Lindelof and I into sundaes. Thanks for your support!

The district Walk-A-Thon is happening on April 17th. Right now 3rd grade is in the lead as a grade level, but there are several grades that are right on their toes. Ms. Lindelof and I have agreed to allow the elementary classroom who brings in the most donations to make us into sundaes (whipped cream, sprinkles, chocolate sauce, etc.). There are still 4 days left to donate!! Who wants to make a mess out of their Principal and Associate Principal?
