As a fairly new resident to the Greensboro area, I had no idea what to expect from this annual event that provides Guilford County students access to all magnet schools at one time. Parents also have the opportunity to submit their child's applications to their requested school. This place was PACKED and a half hour before the fair opened its doors, the line was wrapped around the building. For someone who has severe anxiety, (ME!), it wasn't a pleasant experience. But it did surprise me to see so many parents devoted to obtaining the best possible education for their child. What suprised me even further, was that Guilford County Schools Superintendent, Maurice "Mo" Green, could be found just wandering the fair trying to get the perspective of the parents attending.
Thankfully, this SHOULD be our last HURRAH when it comes to the magnet fair, Adam is entering high school in the fall and as long as he gets into HIS requested high school, we won't need to return.
