End of 3rd Quarter, 3/8

Tomorrow is the last day of the 3rd quarter. I've said it more than, well, I lost count, but please. Make sure all your homework, quizzes, and tests have been turned in. You don't want to start the last quarter of the year on a bad grade. ~8^o

Sportsman's Night, 3/9

If you haven't purchased your ticket yet for Sportsman's Night this Saturday, you still have time! You don't want to miss this fun time. Bring your friends and family, enjoy some great barbecue, and make some great memories.

Get your tickets here!   (Meal is included with every ticket.)

Lost & Found Sale, 3/13-3/15

I don't know how they do it but I think they're professional. They have definitely taken the lost & found bins and have stuffed them to capacity. Again. Which means, the sale will be next Wednesday through Friday. Please look through it now so I don't have to charge you $1 to buy back your own stuff. :)

Spring Concert, 3/18

Clear off your calendars, dust off your cameras, or clear off some space on your phone because spring has nearly sprung which means...let the concerts begin! Join us Monday, March 18th at 7:00 in the church auditorium for our annual FRCS Spring Concert. Doors open at 6:30 so get here early to save you and your family (maybe even a friend or two) a spot in the auditorium. What groups can you look forward to hearing? So glad you asked:

  • SH Ensemble
  • SH Handbell Choir
  • SH Brass Quintet
  • Concert Band
  • MS Choir
  • MS Handbell Choir
  • Elementary Band
  • Elementary Handbell Choir
  • Elementary Choir
What should participants wear? (Look at you asking all those awesome questions, I'm so proud of you!) Competition dress, please. 

No School/TACS State Fine Arts Competition, 3/21-3/22

Once again. This has now been in 3 parent pages and I have received no phone calls. Which means one of two things. You have read it and understand perfectly, or you somehow missed this part. Weird. ;)

Remember:

  • There will be no school for K5-2nd graders 3/21 & 3/22
  • Preschool will be open and there will be late stay. 
  • 3rd-12th graders who ARE COMPETING are required to be in their spot at their scheduled time
  • 3rd - 12th graders who ARE NOT competing are NOT required to come to school 
On that note, if you entered some sort of art into competition and it did not place 1st or 2nd, you may pick it up in the office and take it home. 

Spring Break, 3/25-3/29

Just in case you missed it, Spring Break will be March 25-29th. School will resume April 1st (full day.) Enjoy and make some fabulous memories.

Achievement Testing, 4/1-4/4

When you come back from spring break, from all that rest and boredom which I'm sure you will endure, please make sure you eat a great breakfast and bring a snack as Achievement Testing will begin April 1st and will go through April 4th. Remember, there are no excused absences this week. Thanks!

Making Memories

This is the time of year when activities ramp up and lots of good memories are made. Mr. Bond and the Junior trip to Washington D.C. were both hits. Enjoy the pictures below!

101 Random Weird Facts

  • Octopuses have 3 brains, which I find fascinating. Sometimes I think we people need a couple more brains to complement the ones we already have. Perhaps we should just try to use more of what we have. I need to work on this.
  • Humans have 7 neck vertebrae. So do giraffes. Moral of the fact? Don't pull too hard on your child's ears to get their attention. There's room for growth...jk
  • I've read that honey never spoils. If I found honey in a cave that was supposed to be 3000 years old, I would not be the one to volunteer for the taste-test. I'll just take their word for it.
  • Apparently cows have best friends and can become stressed if they're separated from their friend. 
  • There is a planet in the constellation 'Cancer' that is believed to be made up of diamonds. And no, there are no trips planned at this time as it's 40 light years away which is about 1.08 million years. I think your chances are better at Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas.
  • Next time you see a butterfly, remember that they taste with their feet before you allow them to land on your food. I mean, c'mon. Who knows where those little feet have been?!

You have to deal with games, practices, dinners, family situations, traffic, and well, just life in general. And we know that things can get pretty hectic. Sometimes even pull your hair out hectic. (I do not recommend this strategy for bald people. Actually I don't recommend it at all. It's rather painful.) So to help us all out - you, your students, the kitchen staff, me...all of us... - I highly recommend setting an alarm or reminder on your phone to put lunches in every week before Sunday night at 11:59. Yes. I sai...

  Cross Country 8/16 - MS & Varsity, Siegel High, Away, 6:00  Golf 8/18 - Varsity, Merrol Hyde, Away, 3:30 Volleyball 8/18 - Varsity, Lancaster, Home, 5:00 Patience...patience...patience I don't know if you noticed it or not, but it seems like this past summer just sped by like it was on two wheels. It felt like it barely even started before it was already over. But, no use crying over the inevitable. School had to restart so right now seems like as good a time as any. So welcome back to the returning students - we missed you. School just isn't the same when y'all aren't here. And welcome to the new students - we cannot wait to make your acquaintance and get to know you better. I hope your week - and your student's week - was excellent. If it wasn't, well, I hope it was mostly good. Of course, there were some kinks along the way and that elementary secretary seemed a little scratchy at times (I'm so very sorry. I hate being scratchy and I am determined t...

  Voucher Time 5/15 12:00 noon No, it is not Thursday. No I have not lost my mind (fooled you!), and no. I'm not trying to rush things. Just wanted to send out this week's Parent Page today (Wednesday) to give everyone a quick reminder that... Tomorrow is the day the EFS applications roll-out. 12:00 noon is the time, so please, have all your documents uploaded and stored on your computer for ease of access because as soon as the clock tolls 12, things may get congested and a little bit laggish. Good luck and we wish you the best.  Oh yea. Here's the link. So Many Things, 5/17-5/23 I apologize in advance for the length of this week's Parent Page. It's a whopper but I'm positive you want to know all the things so I'll try my hardest to use bullet points to help navigate upcoming activities. 5/17 - MS Awards, 6:00 pm church auditorium 5/19 - 6th Grade Banquet & Graduation, 6:00 5/20 - K5 Play, Graduation, and Elementary Awards (1st-5th grades), 6:00 church ...
