Important News!Mums Update -CANCELEDFall Break - K5-12th, September 17th-September 25thFall Break - Preschool - September 23rd through September 25th |
If you're in the mood for a feel good, everything is roses and cherries kind of Parent Page, this is not it.
If you're tired of the changes and curve balls this year has thrown super-fast-in-your-face, stop reading. Right now. Stop it. Turn around, turn your phone off, set it aside, and walk away. Ignore it.
Because I don't have good news.
If you're still reading, you have been warned. I am innocent of all detrimental issues that you may suffer from my bad news, with the added caveat that you are not allowed to shoot the messenger.
Now that you're thoroughly prepared, and hopefully on the edge of your seat (I'm working on my suspense writing skills. I have far to go because I'm a blurter. It's an affliction.) a thing has happened.
And it involves your mums. Not the duds. Only the mums. (I have got to come up with a new joke. That one is overused. I do apologize.)
With all the best intentions in the world, we have to cancel mums this year.
Remember? A thing has happened.
While we were set to go and had contracted with a supplier, that was so last year. Remember 2019? That cutesy year with all the good things? Yea. The one before 2020.
Working feverishly to find a new supplier - with lots of suggestions from school parents, we thank you - the decision has been made to cancel the mums fundraiser and refund your money. I know. Please, swallow your panic. With the attitude 2020 has been showing us, we all should have been prepared for this. At this point, I really kind of feel that *whatever* 2020 throws at our faces, we really shouldn't be surprised anymore. It may go down in history as the Great Toilet Paper Shortage or The Year of the Ugly Porch. Sounds better than the Year of the Rat, doesn't it?
I truly am sorry. We will get your money back to you as soon as we can.
Junior High Fall Retreat Canceled 👎
Remember what I said in the previous article? Stop reading if you're tired of bad news? But if you want to be in the know, you may trudge onward.
Because 2020 is the Year of the Rat (or Year of the Ugly Porches, whichever you prefer) ratty things are happening. (Like seriously. I spilled my coffee on a khaki skirt and had to wear it like that all day. It literally went down my arm and down the front of my most favoritest skirt. And I got on the expressway doing 45. 45, people. In a 70 mph expressway. People were not happy. I was one of them.)
Anyway, I digress.
Mom? Dad? Remember those dates y'all were going to have while your junior high student was away at the retreat? Well, it's not going to happen. And I'm sorry. I got you all excited for pajama and latte days, and it's all taken away. I feel dreadful for you all.
And because I can't have favorites, I feel it is my duty to let you know that the Senior High Fall Retreat has been canceled as well.
Goodnight, what's going to be canceled next? Will the leaves on Maple trees not be allowed to turn a glorious shade of red or orange before dropping onto the ground? Will Pumpkin Spice coffee and coffee creamer become outlawed? Can they do that? Would they want that kind of panic and mayhem on their hands?! Truly, this has been a year to remember so far.
Help FRCS and FRBC at...Amazon?! 😸
Because everything is kind of in the I-forgot-my-mask-so-I-can't-go-in-the-store phase, online shopping has really boomed.
Was COVID the event that created porch pirates? (I think a doorbell with a package-snatching-motion-detector-gadget should be created that shoots out ugly blue dye at porch pirate perpetrators. Or glitter. The super-duper-get-everywhere-in-every-nook-and-cranny kind of glitter. I think Martha Stewart probably has some. Hmm. Someone make this. Go.) you can actually help Franklin Road with your online orders.
Simply go to smile.amazon.com, scroll to the place of your choice, and voila! A percentage of your purchase goes toward your charity!
Boxtops are still a thing.
While finding the actual boxtop on top of your favorite sugar-riddled cereal is nearly a thing of the past, boxtops are still here.
Download the B4E app, scan your receipt, and boom. Credit is given to your school. You can even designate which teacher it should go toward. How cool is that?! No more waiting until everyone is in bed and slipping out into the kitchen to cut on those dotted lines while no one is around to make fun of you. Not that I would ever do that. Please tell me I'm not the only one that did that.
Publix Partners
Don't forget to check out Publix Partners. I'm not a huge Publix shopper, but if you type in your phone number at checkout, they will donate to your school. Buy one get one free and donate to school? Yes please!
Kroger
Remember to enroll in the Kroger Community Rewards and select FRCS as your school of choice. You would be surprised how much just that simple act will help our school. Every purchase helps our school and earns you fuel points at the same time. I'd say that's a win win.
Do you know of any other places/stores that donate to education? Let me
know at the elementary office and I'll add it to the next Parent Page!
Because we need something funny...
Why did the cowboy buy a dachshund?
