Our schools are always buzzing with activity, and this semester is no exception. Forsyth Central High School just wrapped up its annual science fair, and the ingenuity on display was phenomenal. We saw projects ranging from sustainable energy solutions to innovative robotics. A huge shoutout to all the students who participated and the teachers who guided them. We also heard that the North Forsyth Middle School drama club put on a spectacular production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' From what people are saying, the costumes were incredible, and the student actors really brought the house down. Bravo! Keeping our kids engaged and learning is such a priority here, and it's fantastic to see our schools fostering creativity and critical thinking.

Every community has its unsung heroes, and Forsyth County is no exception. This month, we want to give a massive shoutout to the volunteers at the Forsyth County Animal Shelter. These amazing individuals dedicate their time and energy to caring for abandoned and stray animals, providing them with food, shelter, and most importantly, love. They work tirelessly to find forever homes for these deserving creatures, and their efforts are truly making a difference. If you're looking to add a furry friend to your family, please consider adoption! We also want to shine a light on Mr. Henderson, the long-time librarian at the Cumming Library. He's not just a keeper of books; he's a community resource, always ready with a recommendation, a helping hand, or a friendly chat. His dedication to promoting literacy and knowledge has touched countless lives over the years. We're also excited about the upcoming community cleanup day organized by the Keep Forsyth Beautiful initiative.
