All of our sixth grade students as well as select seventh grade students have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet the legendary author, Pam Munoz Ryan. Students must return signed permission forms to their homeroom teachers in order to attend. Additional copies of the permission form can be found at https://5il.co/3f7sa
We are so grateful to Bookmarks in Winston, NC for their support in making this happen, and we are looking forward to welcoming this renowned author into the Ravens' Nest on Wednesday, May 14.
Next week, all of our EFMS Ravens will be beginning their end of year exams. We know each of our students has the ability to show growth. While one test can never completely show what a student has learned and is capable of doing, we know these tests are important times for students to do their best. The first step to success is showing up on time for the exams. The full schedule can also be found at https://www.wsfcs.k12.nc.us/o/efms/page/eog-and-eoc-info
