Florence Update
November 6, 2015
Dear Florence Families,
Happy November!! At this time of year we are reminded of how grateful and honored we are to serve such an exceptional community. Your children are precious gifts and we take the responsibility of educating them very seriously. The teachers at Florence consider their work more than just a job - it is their mission and passion to serve. They work many hours to prepare, plan, and collaborate in order to provide engaging learning for your children. In fact, as I am writing this, they are working together to create meaningful Formative Assessments and Checks for Understanding to be sure students are mastering the standards and objectives for the upcoming six weeks.
Thank you for your partnership and dedication to our sweet school. Your positive support is very much appreciated!!!
Have a great three day weekend!
Love,
Laura

FES Vendor Extravaganza
On December 7, 2015, FES will host the first annual FES Holiday Extravaganza!! In addition to being a night of fellowship with other FES families, this event is designed to raise funds specifically for the Principal’s Activity Fund. The Principal’s Activity Fund is used primarily for additional resources for the students and teacher professional development. This year it will be used to purchase Chrome Book Technology for our Engage to Learn - Problem- Based Learning Initiative.
We would like for all of our Florence Family Businesses to please join us on this date between 5-8pm in the FES Cafeteria for a holiday vendor fair. There is no charge to set up a vendor table, we just ask that you donate whatever amount you are comfortable with to the Principal’s Activity Fund at FES. Registration is required and all registrations are due to the office no later than Friday, November 20, 2015.
