Letter from the President - March 2009

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Dear FSUS Families,
March Madness!  Some of you may think of college basketball, but for many of us it means the flurry of school activities before we take our much-deserved Spring Break.  Your FSUS PTSA has several activities and lots of behind-the-scenes planning going on in March.
FCAT Testing takes place on specific dates March 10-19.  PTSA volunteers will be distributing snacks to all students taking FCAT tests.  Please provide your student with bottled water during his or her testing dates.
Planning is already underway for the Teacher Staff Appreciation Week, May 4-8.  If you have any questions or would like to volunteer your time please contact Susan Brodbeck at 877-4230.
PTSA is also hosting a Health & Safety Fair during school hours on the Thursday before Spring Break, March 26.  Volunteers are needed that day to help both exhibitors and students navigate the event.  Click here to volunteer.
The PTSA Nominating Committee is seeking interested PTSA members for elected office for the 2009-2010 school year.  Please contact Heidi Abernethy to learn more.
Finally, we are encouraging our elementary students to read as much as possible for the Principal’s Reading Challenge so that Mr. Trafford will transform into Captain Underpants at the May Fun Friday.  Seriously, kids, you do not want to let that opportunity pass you by!  You will find extra reading logs by clicking here.
Take care and enjoy your Spring Break!
Kasey Chapin
FSUS PTSA President
