Field Day - April 16th
Field Day. The day where the elementary classes get to go outside and participate in games that will culminate in the winning of prizes. The day where you are very much encouraged to slather those children down with the 100+ spf (please don't say those letters individually. Please, for my sake, pronounce it all together as if it were an actual word and not an acronym. It's a lot funner that way. Thank you.) of your choice, strap five bottles of water to their belts and prepare yourself to follow them around all day swatting at flies, snapping pictures, chatting with friends, and basically, just enjoying your day with them.
Yes. You read that correctly.
You're invited to come too. It'll be so much fun.
Don't know what you would eat? Don't worry. The 6th grade class has you covered. Because they're providing the very special lunch for you all. And you have choices. Because we like choices. Read on.
Field Day Menu:
Hot Dog Tray (hot dog, chips, cookie, drink, airhead) $5
Hamburger Tray (hamburger, chips, cookie, drink, airhead) $6
Extra Hot Dog - $1.50
Extra Hamburger - $2.50
Extra Drink - $1
Extra Chips - $1
Extra Cookie - 50¢
Does none of the above grab your attention? Does it not make your mouth water? Does it not make you think of those days gone by when you yourself were in 6th grade and you had a chance to provide food for nearly six hundred people? No? Well, you're not obligated to purchase this lunch. But if you don't, I think you should be aware that you will be obligated (especially by your hungry offspring) to provide a lunch for them. (I've noticed children really don't like to be hungry. Neither do husbands. Weird. I mean, c'mon. I fed you yesterday. Sheesh.)
Walkathon-April 23rd
Speaking of being outside. Because April is such a beautiful month (so breezy and beautiful with clouds and sunshine and singing birds. So not 100 degrees.) we're raising money for a new computer lab. Why? Well, because with people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk in the billions of dollars and with the US with more than a trillion dollars of debt, we need computers to even begin to compute things like this. I mean, can you just imagine the size of the HUMONGOUS abacus we would need to do that?!
Look. Let's be real, shall we? The whole purpose of school is to move forward. To learn. To grow. To teach children how to adapt and flourish in the real world. And today's real world is techie. It is not for the tech-impaired.
Technology is a thing. An ever-changing thing. And we need to be able to offer our students up-to-date technology. Make sense?
Here's your chance to keep FRCS moving forward (not reverting back to the abacus age). You can either sponsor a child with a one-time donation, with every lap they make, or even have the company you work for give a corporate donation in return for some advertising in our gym, our newsletter (this one that you are reading), or even have a personal ad on Livestream.
What About FRCS Open House?
This has been quite the year, hasn't it? The masks are now optional, we can go places in our city, we can even go inside restaurants. All those little things that we took for granted in 2019 are slowly coming back.
But with all those things coming back and we stick one society-craving-toe into the proverbial tepid water, one thing that we won't be able to have this year? FRCS Open House.
I know. I heard you gasp in dismay. I've heard quite a few dismal gasps of late. And it's not my favorite sound. But. We're running out of room. Classes are either full or filling so quickly that it would be kind of rude to have an open house just to say, "I'm sorry. That grade is full" because it's not like we can finish it with "would you like to try this grade instead?"
So. In an effort to keep all that gasping to a minimum, Open House has been canceled.
COVID Policy Update
Did you enjoy your Spring Break? Did you go places? I have it on good authority that many roads were thick with traffic and some even had a 6 hour drive turn into a 9 hour drive. (Insert wide eyes and frown here. I am not jealous.)
I know that some of you may not have been thrilled with coming back to school this past Monday. I get it.
But to make the home stretch more palatable, there have been a few COVID Policy updates. I'm sure your children have told you. So let me give you a bulleted list.
- masks are optional (yes. It was very weird for my face on Monday. I called several people to see if they felt the weirdness as well.)
- all classes have resumed their use of the cafeterias
- drinking fountains are back on (fill those water bottles, yayyyy!)
- no visitors for lunch yet
- no homemade treats for classes can be brought in. Must be from a business.
- Field Day is open for parents!

Summer Day Camp & Summer Band Lessons
Even with all these things going on around here, I'm pretty sure summer break has managed to sneak its way into your mind a couple of times. Are you wondering what in the world you're going to do or do you already have everything mapped out and planned with precision?
If you find yourself on the struggle bus (I think I'm the driver. I'd like someone else to take the wheel for a while, if you wouldn't mind. Serious inquiries only, please) FRCS will be having Summer Day Camp again this year. (I hear cheering from the masses.) CLICK THIS LINK to sign up!
Are you concerned the shiny new instrument you purchased for your virtuoso may become tarnished or dull with lack of use? Fret not. I have it on good authority that our very own band director will be offering private lessons. I can hear you now - where do I sign up?! CLICK THIS LINK for the lesson form!
This Week's Question:
Two train tracks run parallel to each other, except for a short distance where they meet and become one track over a narrow bridge. One morning, a train speeds onto the bridge. Another train coming from the opposite direction also speeds onto the bridge. Neither train can stop on the short bridge, yet there is no collision. How is this possible?
