FSUS PTSA

On Thursday, February 5th at 6:30 pm, the PTSA will hold a Family Fun Night at Skate World.

This is a win-win for everyone.  Kids have a great time, parents get much needed exercise,  and part of the proceeds go right back to the school. In fact, Skate World will give back up to 25% of the earnings if we have 50 people.  Even if we have only 10, they will give our school 20%.

So come on out and show off your moves.  It’ll be a blast!

Any questions?  Contact Amy Hanstein.

In addition, an encore performance has been scheduled for Monday, February 2nd at 6:30 pm. Tickets for all three performances may be purchase at the door.

The long awaited BMX Bike Show, that our students won because of the amount of sales from the Fall Fundraiser, will take place on Wednesday, December 3rd in the cafeteria, with shows at 1:15 pm for elementary students and 2:00 pm for middle and high school.

If you have any questions, please contact Trevor Brumbley or Alicia Cherry for more information.

This Sunday, the PTSA will be holding a Bake Sale at the Southwood Harvest Gathering.  If you have items to donate, you may either bring them to school Friday (Nov. 7th) by 3:15 pm or bring them by the Southwood House between 2:00-2:30 pm on Sunday (Nov. 9th).  If you would like to sign up to help sell goodies at the sale, click here.  For any other questions, contact Alicia Cherry.

We are pleased to announce that we did reach our $40,000.00 goal for the PTSA Fundraiser.  We had a total of $40,542.25 in catalog sales and $135.00 in donations for a grand total of $40,677.25.

The top selling class for elementary was Miss Durham’s 1st grade class and for middle school was Mr. Minn’s 8th grade 1st period class.  Both of these classes will get a cookie party (date to be determined).  The top selling student was Ashtyn Tilton, 1st grade, Miss Durham’s class and she will be awarded a $25 gift card to Target.

The BMX show will be scheduled soon and we will send out an email with the date.  It looks like it is going to be the first part of December.  Details will be available soon.

We are compiling a list of students that will attend the show, get VIP seats and an autographed picture.  We are also working on getting the community service forms filled out for 8th through 12th grade.  When they are completed, we will put them in the teacher mailbox of the students first period teacher.

We can’t thank you enough for supporting your school.  The money goes right back to our students and teachers.  We are so excited that Middle School and High School really helped this year.  That was wonderful.
