 Principal’s Report:  Erin Avery / Alicia Jenkins

·  The Teacher Giving Tree was lovely. Many of our staff members enjoyed receiving gifts. They appreciated FACT organizing something like this.

· We are pleased to announce that Officer Tyitye will be starting back as our School Officer once again. While our school remains very safe, we feel his presence will continue to ensure that.

· Mrs. Avery has some box tops in her office. I will bring them to the next meeting. I have several teachers collecting.

· March 24^th is the Parent Expo. As mentioned at the last meeting, this is a free community event. In addition to listening to different “break out” sessions, the keynote speaker this year will be BETSY GEDDES!! She is a humorous and outstanding speaker and really helps us to focus on the art of using Love and Logic as a means to teach behavior when it comes to our own children and our students. It may also be nice to have FACT represented with a table.

· Excellent progress is being made at the HS and MS with the construction. We hope to have a completion date to announce at the next meeting.
