Say Thanks To A School Board Member!
     January is School Board Recognition Month
In honor of School Board Recognition Month, we would like to publicly thank our Forest Grove School Board for their dedication to our students and staff. Board members volunteer their time and receive no compensation for their efforts. They spend literally thousands of hours attending meetings, reading background information, participating in conferences and advocating for our schools. We appreciate all you do!
 
Thank you Lonnie Winkler (board chair), Fred Marble (vice chair), John Hayes, Charless Waterman, Kate Grandusky and Lilly Mejia (student representative).
