As of today, our Turkey Trot is still on for this Thursday, Nov 21st. It looks like there is rain for this upcoming week. We will communicate any changes by Wednesday if our Turkey Trot needs to be re-scheduled to the December 12th rain date.
Turkey Trot
For our Turkey Trot this year, we’re using PledgeStar, a secure web-based pledge system that makes it easy for you to make pledges and request pledges from family and friends anywhere.
Our Turkey Trot is November 21, so please register now to help Fanning Academy of Science and Technology PTA raise funds for Reading, Art, Music, Science, and Social Studies programs, as well as educational Field Trips.
- Go to https://pledgestar.com/fanning
- Click “Not Registered For This Year’s Event”
- Enter your name and email address, then click “Submit”
- Follow the on-screen instructions to register your kids
When you finish, the system emails pledge requests to the family and friends that you entered, allowing them to make secure credit card donations online. You will get notified each time a pledge is made and you can track your total.
Important Dates
Monday - November 18th - Pledge Cards and Money due! Please turn in all pledge cards event if no donations were collected. All pledge totals up to November 18th will be counted to determine our Top 20 earners, tiered prizes/parties. When finished collecting all pledges and money, please return the envelope including checks, cash and pledge card to the student's teacher or main office.
Spirit Wear Updates
Orders for TK-3 (only extra smalls) are due this Wednesday, November 20th. After this order no additional orders will be placed so please get your orders in.
Any extra spirit wear will be sold after school this week on Monday and Wednesday by the library entrance.
A message from our Yearbook Coordinator
Hello Fanning Families!
I am going to be the Yearbook Coordinator for this year and I am excited to get started! We will be using Pictavo again this year and if you do not have a free account with them to upload your pics for yearbook consideration, you can set one up at https://commpe.pictavo.com .
My goal is to have photos from specific events, such as first day of school, jog-a-thon, B.E.S.T. Track Meet, etc. uploaded within two weeks of the event taking place. Reminders will be posted to this group as well as in Mrs. Stevens' newsletters. I am also looking at bringing back the Yearbook Cover Art Contest for our 6th graders. I will be sending out more info related to the yearbook in the weeks ahead.
What an exciting first day of school! Ok parents, let's see those first day of school pictures you want to have considered for the yearbook!!
The deadline to upload your first day of school photos to Pictavo is 9/2/19. If you do not have an account, you can create one for free at https://commpe.pictavo.com .If you have any questions or problems uploading your photos, please email Mr. Yerkish at fanningyearbook20@gmail.com.
