Good afternoon Newington Forest Families,

It was a great week in the Forest!

• Monday - 6th graders visited South County Middle School
• Wednesday - 2nd grade Earth Day Concert. Great job 2nd grade! Thank you again, Mrs. Gordon and Mx. Bosley. "Woe is me."
• Thursday - Parent Workshop: Helping Kids Handle Big Emotions. Thank you to Mrs. Howard, Family Liaison, and Ms. Traci Jamison, Social Worker, for putting together this workshop for our NFES parents. The presentation was excellent and informative.
• Friday - SOL Pep Rally - Thank you to Mrs. Pipitone for organizing today's fun Pep Rally and getting everyone's mindset ready for the SOLs! Here is the link to the staff video, in case your kids want to watch it again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra4nTwq4Il0.
