“And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.
-Galatians 5:9
Autumn greetings to all! We hit the ground running with academics in September and already held numerous activities: Back- to-School Night, Fabulous First Full Friday, Picture Day, Soccer Shots, FLS Children’s Philharmonic, and our Grandparents Day celebration! It was incredible to see so many new and returning families on campus!
October has arrived quickly; the teachers and I are excited about a month ahead full of exciting activities and the entire 2015-2016 school year! Our next big event will take place on Saturday, October 17, from 11a.m. – 3 p.m. Don’t miss information coming home from your child’s teacher throughout the month. Be sure to check those backpacks!
Finally, in an effort to continue positive growth and safety on campus, we have implemented a new sign out procedure for elementary and middle school students. Children will remain with their teacher (either in the classroom or on the playground) until picked up or brought to daycare at 3:15. Upon pick up, we ask that all children be signed out. Please sign out either with your child’s teacher or the daycare provider. As always, my door is open for parents to share comments, concerns and commendations. Together, the FLS family is making a difference, one child at a time.
