Dress Accordingly!

To quote an alumnus of Forney High School, Wilfred Kasper, “if it thunders in February, it will snow in April.” And we all know what he meant: the uncertainty of Spring weather has been a major event this year. And since Punxatawney Phil didn’t see his shadow this year, we might get an early Spring. Starting a day off dressed for midwinter only to have it become shorts and flip flops by lunchtime can make it a chore to choose the appropriate clothes for the day. And as the pundits like to point out-- in Texas, Winter is at 6 a.m., Spring starts at 10 a.m., Summer is at 2 p.m., and Fall starts around 4:30ish. Dress accordingly!

But the students in Forney ISD know that no matter how uncertain weather can be, learning is always going to happen between them and the wonderful teachers the Forney Family is blessed to have in the classrooms. Just like the weather, a day in the classroom can start one way, shift to something else in the middle, and end on a new note entirely. One of the things that marks a great teacher is their ability to dress accordingly--even when what’s happening changes with the wind.

The Forney Education Foundation knows how great and nimble the teachers are in Forney ISD. The Board of Directors gets to see firsthand how innovative and inspired they are by the quality of the grant requests received, and every year that makes the job of choosing the grants to fund harder. But because the generous donors and supporters of FEF give to the Foundation, the Board is able to support these teachers and their students. It’s much easier to dress for the weather when you have a full wardrobe! Please go to www.forneyisdfoundation. org and help fill the closet!
