November Newsletter from Ms. Gentry


Please remember that there will be no school for students and staff on Tuesday, November 11, in honor of Veterans' Day.

Report cards will be distributed to students on Wednesday. Letter on grades from WSFCS Schools

Good luck to our volleyball teams. On Wednesday they will travel to Meadowlark for a 3pm match and then on Thursday they will play against East Forsyth Middle at home starting at 3pm.  The cost is $3 to enter. All students staying to watch the game should have their rides on campus by 4:45pm.

Good luck to our Robotics teams. They will compete on Saturday at Flat Rock Middle.

All students received their fundraiser packets last week.  This year we are selling holiday items from the Great American catalog. We encourage all students to participate. This year's prizes include admission to the Glow Party, admission to the BMX Bike Show, a Hummer limo lunch, and even cash! All money should be turned in by November 20.
