Dear FSUS Families,
It’s hard to believe it is already December. Your FSUS PTSA has given $6,000 in teacher mini-grants, reimbursed student activity fees to three FSUS families, matched three teacher mini-grants, and volunteered hundreds of service hours. Thank you so much for your support of these activities. Anytime we have asked for help you have generously given their time and support.
Thank you to our Fall Carnival volunteers who helped sell sugar-free Sandy Candy: Precious Boatright, Tracina Bush, Kasey Chapin, Michele Dobrin, Judith Mankunis, Betty Morales, Quartil Robinson and Richard Stresing. We raised a little over $100 for our general fund.
We also appreciate our Thanksgiving Luncheon volunteers who braved the chilly morning to sell tickets and issue passes: Mary Annette, Kasey Chapin, Alicia Cherry, Rhonda Hicks, PK Jameson, Trish Kill, Julie Lengacher, Julann Long, Chiquita Mordica, Ashley Scruggs, Lora Signs and Marissa Walker.
We will be back hard at work in January. We need two volunteers to lead our Teacher Staff Appreciation Week activities in May. If you and a friend would like to lead this event, please contact me. TSAW is one of the most important events that FSUS PTSA hosts during the school year and early planning is an important key to its success.
We will also be meeting for our second General Assembly on Tuesday, January 20 at 6:30pm in the Tomahawk Cafe. At this meeting we will be electing a Nominating Committee who will nominate a slate of candidates for the April election of the 2009-2010 PTSA Officers. We will also enjoy a performance by the Elementary ORFFestra. The Key Club will provide child care and light refreshments will be provided.
Other events to look forward to are more Family Fun Nights, FCAT snacks for our students, a rescheduled Bike Rodeo, the Health & Wellness Fair and much more.
Happy Holidays!
Kasey Chapin
PTSA President
