French Run Elementary

As we welcome the month of May, I want to thank our students, staff, and families for another wonderful month of learning and growth. It’s hard to believe we are nearing the end of the school year!

May is always a busy and exciting time filled with field trips, special events, spring activities, and celebrations of student achievement. We encourage students to continue working hard, showing kindness, and finishing the year strong.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership throughout the school year. Together, we are helping our students build the foundation for their continued success.

Wishing you and your family a happy and successful May!

Sincerely,

Mr. Fetty

Congratulations to our April Pride Team! These students were selected by their peers for the Integrity they show daily. Here are some of the comments made about this month's Pride Team:

• demonstrates integrity each day by always trying to do the right thing, even when no one is watching
• always follows directions no matter where she is or who is around
• shows integrity by making honest choices, even when no one is watching
• demonstrates integrity by understanding "right from wrong", telling the truth even when it is tough, taking responsibility for her actions, and doing the right thing even when no-one is watching
• always shows integrity because she is honest, reliable and accountable

Congratulations Firebirds! We are so proud of you!
