Happy Halloween

P

arents’ Club met in record numbers on September 20th.  The Parents’ Club (PC) discussed goals for the upcoming year.  We set a goal of $3,000 for fundraising.  We will try and meet this goal through a variety of events including Macy’s Shop for the Cause, the Annual Holiday Party Silent Auction and a Spring Yard and Bake Sale.  Many of you know that the school recently installed sunshades for the main play yard and the smaller yard.  Fundraising efforts from last year paid for a small portion of the installation, however, we need to raise an additional $3,000 to put towards the remaining balance.  Please support the FHS in any way you can to help meet this goal.  In addition to fundraising, the PC also discussed a variety of teachers’ appreciation events and the success of our first school Beautification Day.

 

 

Spring Yard and Bake Sale

We are looking forward to the yard sale.  Please support FHS by saving goods that we can sell in the spring.  Items that are high in demand include tools, household goods, books, and toys.

 

Curriculum

The curriculum for each class is posted.  Feel free to review the curriculum and ask your child’s teacher any questions.  Arts and crafts will be related to lessons, seasons and holidays.

 

 

School Donations

The computer monitor in Ms. Soni’s room is currently nonfunctional.  If anyone has a new or used computer monitor please talk to Ms. Ishani if you are interested in donating it to the class.
