Letter from the President - November 2009
Dear FSUS Families,
The first nine weeks of school are over and FSUS PTSA is going strong. I’m going to take this opportunity to give thanks for our many blessings this year.
First, thank you, our members, for joining and volunteering to help our school be the best it can be. Our goal every year is to increase our membership. Why? We don’t just want the dues. It is our goal because we want our kids to go to the kind of school where the parents, teachers and students make a commitment to service, education and community. Gandhi said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world”. Thank you for joining PTSA and by doing so indicating that supporting FSUS and working together is important to you.
Thanks to the Administration, Faculty and Staff for working with us to make our events a success and for being responsive to any questions or concerns we bring forward.
Thanks to all of our committee chairs and volunteers. We have already had a successful Fall fundraiser and General Assembly meeting, fed our families at Open House, hosted our first FSUS Dads’ event with “Donuts for Dads”, started our elementary school vegetable gardens, hosted a bike rodeo, enjoyed two Family Fun Nights at Chick-Fil-A and Skate World, kicked off the Principal’s A/R Reading Challenge, granted Teacher Mini-Grants for travel to educational conferences, and started a Room Parent Program.
This month we look forward to being of service to others in need as we collect food for the Second Harvest Fall Food Drive. This is also the month we will be accepting entries for our Reflections Arts Program, launching Teacher MiniGrants for Hospitality events, and hosting a Bake Sale at the SouthWood Harvest Gathering. Check out all of our upcoming events below and in our new Google calendar of events!
It truly takes “All of Us” to get things done. Thank you all so much for being part of it.
Kasey Chapin
FSUS PTSA President
