You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch!

We were lucky enough to have Mr. Rhea, our former Speech Teacher, come back to Forest North for his annual performance of "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" by Dr. Seuss. It might help that his granddaughter is an Eagle, but I bet he'd do it anyway! Most programs like this cost hundreds of dollars, but this one comes absolutely free. We are so lucky here at Forest North for this annual opportunity. Fingers crossed for an encore performance next year, Eagles!

Riley the Reading Dog was a smashing success. We all had a great time sharing books with Riley and petting him. He had a great temperament and loved the attention. His owner Naomi said she'd be happy to bring him back one day. Big thanks to the Austin Pet Alliance for sharing their time and resources with us. We love Riley!
