A Message from Mrs. Douthart
Principal, Five Forks Middle School
Dear Five Forks Families,
Hi there and welcome to DLD 8! I recently looked at the calendar, and it struck me how many events have been canceled and/ or put on indefinite hold. While we know it’s for the right reason—keeping everyone healthy so we can return to our normal way of life, it’s still hard to think about some of the big plans we had made.
I wanted to take a minute and give a big shout out to our Drama Club. These amazing and talented students poured their hearts and souls into their production of “Peter Pan” which was supposed to take place this week! I want to sincerely thank them for their dedication and tell them that there will be so many opportunities ahead of them to share their awesome talent, but I feel their disappointment.
There were also Band and Orchestra Large Group Evaluation concerts where our students were ready to shine. Our FFMS Science Olympiad team was heading back to State! Our soccer teams were set to show their skills in a county tournament! Clubs and activities that connect our students to the school... canceled - for now. (...And so much more!)
While this time may have changed a lot of what is “normal,” it most certainly has not changed the fact that Five Forks Middle School has some of the MOST TALENTED students in the world, and I am so proud to be your biggest fan!
I’ve prepared a brief DLD 8 message for all of you. Again, I don’t expect to win an Oscar, but I just wanted to check in with you to remind you that FFMS is THE VERY BEST! If the video link is not in this email, you will be able to find it on our ‘Bucky Connects’ Facebook page and in a separate email sent through our Smore account.
Please continue to reach out to your child’s teachers if you have any questions. Remember, the building remains closed-but the learning never stops! Get smarter—Read, Write, Discuss...every day!
Thank you for your continued support!
