National Magnet Schools Month 2019

National Magnet Schools of America declared February as National Magnet Schools Month.  The purpose was to continue to promote the Magnet Schools Program, make sure all students, parents and community members were aware of our Magnet Program, and celebrate the theme with the staff and students.

Each week of the month had a different focus to promote the school's magnet theme.
Week 1 was all about "Awareness," a time for promoting the Magnet Program through communicating to parents, staying active on Social Media, and being visible to the community.  We even held a Twitter party that allowed teachers or anyone else following us on Twitter to respond to questions or prompts and engage in a discussion about our Arts Integration and Performance Magnet School.

Week 2 focused on "Screaming the Theme," and we celebrated with a "Magnet Spirit Week."  For Spirit Week, staff and students were encouraged to dress up according to the following themes:

Day 1: Afrocentric Attire in Honor of Black History Month

Day 2:  Dress Like a Dancer 

 Day 3:  Dress Like An Artist or Musician

Day 4:  Dress in Red to Show Love for Your Magnet School

Day 5: Tiger Pride Day: Wear Orange

 Week 3 of National Magnet School Month was "Visitors' Week," a time for inviting parents and members of the community into the school.  Throughout the month, we invited visitors into the school for a WSFCS District Magnet Coordinators' meeting, Family Math Night, and a student performance.  

Mrs. Gordon, Our Magnet Coordinator, presented to the WSFCS Magnet Coordinators about using Social Media to help market the Magnet Program.

 Students and parents learned together and had fun while learning during Math Night Activities.

The final week of National Magnet Schools Month was focused on showing appreciation for those who make our Magnet Program possible such as the WSFCS Magnet Program Manager, our own Magnet Coordinator, the Arts Team, and Administration.  

Thank you for all you do Dr. Forney!
