Good morning Fulton Families,

Last week, we celebrated the amount of books our students read in the month of March by having four staff members slimed! We ended the week with our students kicking up their feet and dancing the night away at our Student Government Association's dance.

There is still lots of excitement ahead with end-of-year celebrations. Be sure to check out our calendar below for memorable events.

Warmly,

Dr. Burks, Mrs. Liwosz, & Mrs. Sillers
