❤️💙 FES Grandparents Day: 💙❤️ Today was such a special morning at Forest Elementary! Our Pre-K through 1st Grade students welcomed their grandparents and loved ones for breakfast, smiles, conversations, and sweet memories together. 🥰 There’s just something special about the love of a grandparent! ❤️ We enjoyed seeing our cafeteria filled with families spending quality time with our little Bearcats. Thank you to every grandparent and special guest who joined us and helped make today memorable! We are grateful for our families and the important role you play in the lives of our students. 💙🐾❤️

Kindergarten Pizza Day! 🍕 In Mrs. Kitchens and Mrs. Nichols's Kindergarten class, our little learners had a fun and hands-on Pizza Day focusing on the letter “P” while practicing 2D shapes! Students explored circles, squares, and rectangles by creating their own pretend pizzas. They practiced saying & identifying each of the “P” toppings. This activity makes learning shapes, counting, and fine-motor skills fun and meaningful—all while enjoying a little pizza-themed fun! After the activity was done, students ate some pizza themed snacks. 🍕🔴🟦🟨

📢📢Reminder: See flyer for FES Grandparents Day breakfast!

FES Bearcat Spotlight ✨❤️🐾 Today, FES would like to shine a very special spotlight on our amazing school principal, Dr. Ebony Donelson Crosby! This moment beautifully captures what it means to be a leader and a servant. Dr. Crosby’s dedication, compassion, and genuine care for our students, families, faculty, and entire school community are evident in all that she does. She leads with purpose, serves with heart, and continually reminds us that our school is more than a building—it’s a family. #BearcatSpotlight #FESfamily #LeadwithHeart 💙
