Spring is the time of year where teachers take a moment and reflect on where their class was in the fall and how far they have come over the school year. The amount of growth that has taken place is astonishing and should be celebrated.  

Students are showcasing skills that they didn’t have six months ago. Letters and sounds are now being applied in basic books. Basic multiplication and division has morphed into fractions and algebra. Students have gone from writing a few sentences to writing paragraphs. Ford Heights is taking the time to celebrate all of the amazing accomplishments achieved so far this year. 

Please continue to be encouraged by our efforts and success!
