Principal's Corner: A Message from Principal Thomas
End Of The Year Reminders
With only a few days left in the term, we want to ensure our scholars finish the year as strong as they started. We encourage you to have a conversation with your student about maintaining our daily school expectations through the final bell. By working together, we can celebrate the end of a fantastic year and ensure a smooth, successful closing for everyone.
Biking Safety Reminder
We've noticed many student bikers darting into traffic on Oakview Road headed towards Oakhurst Market. Please remind your children to look for cars before merging or turning. Also, for the safety of all students, do not park on Oakview Road towards Oakhurst Market for pickup, as this causes many of our students to dart into the street to get around those cars. Please use the designated car rider lane only. Thank you for helping us keep our kids safe!
Best regards,
Derrick L. Thomas

FAVE's Last Day of School Dance
Itβs that time of year again! Parents - You're invited to FAVE's Last Day of School Dance on Friday, May 22!! We'd love for parents to join us as we celebrate another successful year around the FAVE sun! All parents are invited to attend.
We are also looking for energetic parents to lead a simple choreographed dance. If you're a BRAVE soul who likes to dance, this is for you! We'd like to invite you to lead a simple choreographed dance for your child's grade level. You'll tell us the (school-appropriate) song in the comments on the sign up genius, plan a simple dance, and take the stage! Sign up will close soon!
Students have a blast with parent dancers at our annual school dance. Let's see your moves, parents!
3rd Grade: 9:00 - 9:30
4th Grade: 9:35 - 10:05
5th Grade: 10:10 - 10:40
Cursive Writing Spirit Week
Students at FAVE participated in the inaugural Loops and Liberty Cursive Spirit Week last week. This was part of the John Hancock Banner recognition program, sponsored by the Georgia Department of Education. Students participated in autograph signing, cursive compliments, cursive poetry, and more. Students ended the week by writing their first and last name plus the Preamble in cursive. Way to go, FAVE Falcons!
