The 3rd graders had a Q&A session with Mr. Placenti this morning! It was a wonderful way to learn more about our favorite principal. Students asked questions such as: - "What advice would you give students our age to be successful?" - "Why did you choose to be a principal at Forrest School?" and - "What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you?" Thank you Mr. Placenti for being the BEST principal!
