Some of the greatest gifts we can give our students are excellent tools for learning. The need for these new resources is ongoing, and this year we have a goal of $30,000 to help our amazing teachers and students.

Last year, you supported our major fundraising event, and soon we’re hosting our Forest Acres Elementary Fun Run on 03/10/2023 to raise funds & provide students with an unforgettable, FUN experience!

Youth Art Month is a celebration of the visual arts held in March!

Youth Art Month encourages support for quality school art programs and promotes art material safety. The program provides a medium for recognizing skills developed through visual arts experiences unlike any other curriculum subjects, including:

• * Problem solving
• * Creativity
• * Observation
• * Communication

Our Easley area art show will run from March 15-March 23 at EHS, with a reception on the 23rd from 5:30-7:30. We will have 30 pieces of art from FAE featured in the show. These pieces will then move on to the Pickens County Museum for the month of April. I know our students would love to see you at the EHS reception! They are always so proud of their work in the show. From 5:30-6:00 is a drop-in time to view the pieces on display, so you wouldn't need to stay for the awards reception.

Your chance to grow closer to your kids is coming this spring. All Pro Dad is hosting an in-stadium family event at Memorial Stadium on the Clemson University campus. Parents and children will get to experience fun activities, games, and conversations all aimed at building better bonds.

On March 11th take the field at Clemson Memorial Stadium from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. when you’ll learn how to shift for success from station leaders + the Tigers championship coach, Dabo Swinney.
