PARENT CORNER
A VALENTINE THANK YOU!
Thank you for all of the beautiful thoughtful gifts, chocolates, cards, and other goodies showered upon me this Valentine’s Day. I feel truly blessed by your outpouring of kindness. Our Valentine’s Day class party was wonderful! Thank you to all who were able to join us and to all those who generously provided delightful crafts and goodies. The children could hardly wait for their party to begin and enjoyed it so much because of you!!
AUCTION
The FCS auction is underway! This is our largest fundraising event each year. We are excited about setting our goals even higher than last year. The auction is a great way to donate to our school. Your donations will bless the lives of others.
You received the information about our class basket which is a “Beach” theme. Please start thinking about your gift or donation. We are asking each child’s family to contact family, friends, neighbors, and merchants to make a donation to our auction. Students will be given a ticket for every 10 points they earn in donations. I am hoping that each family will find that special something to donate to the auction.
I would like to encourage you to support this event by giving or getting donations of services, trips, items, desserts, and/or dinner tickets. The dinner/silent and live auction will take place on Saturday, March 15th, from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M. in the FCS Gym.
