Wins for the Week!!
- Our fantastic PTSA continues to support us at high levels in helping us develop our technology capability to enhance teaching and learning here at Five Forks Middle School. At the Executive Board meeting this past Monday evening, Mrs. Douthart was given a check for $4500 to spend on Technology and Media Services! Over the course of this year, our wonderful PTSA has given back to Five Forks...a total of $13,355.82--not to mention the countless hours of volunteering their time and talent. We are so blessed to have such awesome parents and community members helping our school--our staff--and most importantly--our STUDENTS! Thank you, PTSA.
The 7th and 8th grade Orchestras did a phenomenal job! Parents were in absolute awe of how far the students have come under the direction of Alaina Morris. The 7th grade was a Pajama Concert and we got to "get down" with the Chicken Dance. I sure hope there is no video out there!
A HUGE shout out to Zac Cogdill and Chelsea Green for their amazing evening under the stars...even if it felt like WINTER...it was a beautiful evening to celebrate the wonderful talent of our awesome students!
We had a great time celebrating Suzanne Elder's retirement this week. Congratulations on the seeds you have sewn...the lives you have touched...and the next leg of your marvelous journey!
Our Relay for Life team met their goal raising more than $5000 for Cancer Research. Come out and celebrate tonight at the Gwinnett County Fair Grounds!

Preparing for Summer.. Things to Consider!
As we move to the summer months (WOO HOO), it is important to take a minute to clean out your digital files. Your H Drive does have a storage limit and needs to be cleaned out periodically. Remember that your Google Drive storage is unlimited, therefore you are welcome to upload any of your files, videos, and images to your Google Apps for Education Account.
