PTO Update:

• The PTO wants to support teachers and build school community through starting a room parent program this year. Being a room parent does not need to be a lot of work, but it will be rewarding and a great way to get to know your child’s teacher and other parents. You do not need to be a PTO member to be a room parent! You can read more about the room parent program from this document. If you are interested, please fill out this Google Form. After you fill it out, Jennifer Renkema, the PTO Vice President, will be in touch with you to answer your questions.
• The Forcey PTO fall push has begun! Students brought forms home in their backpacks for you to complete and return to their teacher. Whether you are joining as a new member or simply confirming your PTO membership please check the appropriate box and have your child return the form to school. The class with the highest form return rate will win a popsicle party!

Thank you in advance for your support of the FCS PTO so that we can help support our wonderful students, teachers, and school!

Coach Burgess shared Proverbs 4:25 today in staff devotions. He reminded us to always keep our eyes forward, fixed ahead and not get distracted by what’s around us. It goes along with our theme this year of pressing on, towards God, keeping our eyes and minds fixed on Him.

Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. ~Proverbs 4:25

Have a great weekend!
