Good morning, Roadrunner families. Yearbook order forms will go out on Friday. We wanted to capture all the year-end festivities that are traditionally not in the yearbooks and will have them completed over the summer. We'll let you know when they've arrived! Thanks!

The next regular meeting of the Waynesboro School Board will be Tuesday, May 13, 2025, at 7pm at Waynesboro High School 1400 W. Main Street in the media center.

Also, from the PTO: Field Day t-shirt orders/money must be turned in by tomorrow morning at 9:00 am.

From Mr. Stringfellow: Hello All! I neglected to add the date and times for Field Day! Field Day is May 19th and the makeup day for rain is the 20th. Field Day is split into two sessions. Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade will be participating from 9am-11am. 3rd - 5th grade will participate from 12pm-2pm. Get ready!

Bus 618 will be late tomorrow, Wednesday, May 7th, for its PM run. Bus 613 will make a double run. If your child rides Bus 618 and you want to change the way they get home, please call the office. Thank you!

Good afternoon,
The book fair will be open tomorrow afternoon for those parents who would like to shop with their children from 3-5. Thank you!

Hello All B.G. Families,
It is that time of year again! Field Day is approaching and I would love to have as much family participation as possible. If you are interested in participating in field day, please send me a message in the upcoming weeks.
You have the option to walk with your students class station to station, or you may help with one of the stations while the classes are cycling through. Let me know which way you'd like to participate.
If you have already volunteered this year with your student, you should have already filled out a volunteer form. If you haven't, please fill the volunteer form out in our main office the week before field day.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me through Rooms or email.
Thank you,
AJ Stringfellow
