*****Reminders from past newsletters:*****
*****Building Bond FMS Committee*****
Mr. Sesker is asking that all building put together a committee to address the building needs and wants in order to have a comprehensive and supported plan moving forward with our next bond attempt.
The bottom line is this: it is believed that the last attempt did not have the full support of the staff. A full understanding of the building request was lacking as well.
We need to put together a committee that is willing and able to meet three to four times between now and early March. Besides meeting as a committee, members will be asked to communicate and update staff as the process moves forward. Parents will be part of this committee as well. (If you know of any parents that may be interested in being on this committee please let me know.)
Stop by and visit with me if you are interested in being part of this committee. I am hoping to have an organizational meeting later this week or early next week. Meeting times will probably be 5:30 - 7:30 pm - or whatever will work in order to have an active representation from our parents.
