Fulton County Report Fall 2011

  Forbes Road

  We had one minor staffing change.  Our elementary music teacher is now only doing music for half of   the day.  The rest of her day, she is teaching reading.  There was no change in staffing at the high   school.  She is having her 5th and 6th graders presenting a musical as part of the kick-off event for   the new bullying program that we are rolling out this fall.  Her 1st and 2nd graders will be presenting a   musical this spring.  The High School Drama Club and Music Department will be presenting   Oklahoma! this spring.  This will be the third musical in school history.  Forbes Road will also be   hosting a Fall Band Festival on November 18th sponsored by the Franklin Fulton County Music   Educators Association.  Students from Southern Fulton and Fanett-Metal will join students from   Forbes in a day of rehearsal and an evening concert.

  Central Fulton

  We are sad to report the retirement of Instrumental Music Teacher Larry Stepler.  His position was not   filled.  High School Chorus teacher Greg Strine has assumed most of Larry’s former duties.    Elementary music teacher Cathy Richards has also taken over the woodwind lessons in the   elementary school.

  Southern Fulton

  No staffing changes to report.

  Respectfully submitted,
