Florence Update
September 19, 2014
Dear Florence Families,
Also, please mark your calendars for two important events! Tomorrow night we have our annual Run in the Dark for the Keller Community in support of the Community Storehouse. It will be held at Alliance Airport. Hope you can make it!!!
We will also have our first PTA meeting of the school year on Monday night, Sept. 22nd, at 6:15. We will have a short PTA meeting followed by an update from our Superintendent, Dr. Reid, on the Bond Election. I hope you can attend so that you can educate yourself and know the details and facts about the Bond Election. It is very informative and interesting!
Following Dr. Reid's presentation PTA and our art teacher Ms. Stiff will host Art Night. This is a great evening of creation and fun. You will not need to bring anything to participate. All materials will be provided. We hope you can make it!!!
Thank you!!
Thanks to Nurse Nelson and the teachers for helping kick-off "Take the First Step" Wellness Initiative. She provides an update each morning on the announcements and the teachers show short videos and provide encouragement during the day. You should have received your Bingo cards as part of the program. The bingo is completely optional but a fun way to track progress and gather ideas on how to stay healthy. Stay tuned for more info. You may also click on the link in the website section to learn more about the initiative.
Thanks, also, to all our exceptional volunteers for your help here at school and at home! You make Florence a very special place in which to work! WE APPRECIATE YOU AND COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!!
Campus Education Improvement Committee
Also, if you are interested in joining our CEIC or you know a business or community member that would like to be a part of the committee, please let us know. We are looking for additional members.
