Dear Forestdale Families,

Falcons, we miss you already – the halls are far too quiet without you! We want to wish you all a safe, fun-filled summer break, and don't forget to keep those brains active: read, read, read, and visit your local library! If you love the water, we hope you get plenty of swimming in. Please enjoy some fun memories and updates below as we kick off the summer season!

 

Wishing you a Sunny Summer,

Ms. Nikki Steptoe-Coleman, Principal

Ms. Mary-Elizabeth Hagaman, Assistant Principal

Ms. Denise Cash-Pinckney, Assistant Principal
