MARCH
WOW.....Let the count down to Fiddlers' Convention Begin! Has it been a year already? I know that the 80th is going to be just as Awesome as last years and That Was AWESOME:) As we head into the business of the week focus must remain on learning targets for our students. It is exciting to know that our children are growing everyday. As cumulative interims approach and elective teachers begin the ASW process it is evident that we are in the short rows of the school year. The students at Highfalls have the potential and they have the instructional leadership to be the best in MCS as well as in NC. Stay the course with driving instruction based on current data with rigor and relevance. Every child....Every Day....With Whatever It Takes shouts the dedication and awesomeness of the educational values and traditions of Highfalls. Highfalls Is Marching Forward Because of All Of You!!!!!! Enjoy Spirit Week, Make Memories, Model School Spirit, and Fill Their Heads with Knowledge :)
WooHoo.......Soaring2Excellence Always!!!!!
