The first week of school has been completed, and the busyness of the new school year and the extracurricular activities that are already happening resembles a bee hive in full swing. Just like the bees all have their specific roles in the hive, so do all of the teachers, students, and administrative staff. How appropriate that August 20th is National and International Bee Day (the 3rd Saturday in August) as well as, this year, the 9th day of the school year. The calendar itself always plays a large part in how school learning and activities happen since it is helpful for teachers to facilitate learning among their students based on what the day/date of the calendar is. National Bee Day could be used in biology, horticulture, mathematics, art or music.
The Forney Education Foundation is also hard at work preparing for this year’s activities. The teachers and staff in the district have all received the information about the Grant program and are thinking about what extras the Foundation could fund in a teacher-requested grant. The Grant committee is also meeting and planning for the numerous requests that will be submitted. And the Forney Family will be able to participate when the Adopt-AGrant window opens. With the help of the community, to date, FEF has been able to fund over $1,050,000.00 for these grants. And one of the best days on the calendar is the day the Grant Train rolls through Forney ISD!
