May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Every May, we recognize the national movement to raise awareness about mental health. Together, we fight stigma, provide support, educate the public and advocate for policies that support the millions of people in the U.S. affected by mental illness.

PA state testing continues this week with the Math exam for students in grades 6 through 8 and the Science exam for 8th graders. Please be sure to pay attention to the important details about PSSAs and Keystones below.

Please be aware that there is a shortage of referees and umpires that will likely impact sports at some point this Spring- both home and away. PIAA is allowing for “scrimmages” between teams if no official is available. When this happens please be patient and understanding if a fill-in referee or umpire (teacher or other adult) is helping out. We all would prefer a “scrimmage” over a cancelation.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK DONATIONS

CALL FOR FRIGHT NIGHT VOLUNTEERS

Our favorite time of year at Fugett is fall because of our biggest PTO event - Fright Night! We would like to start preparing for this spooktacular October night early, and we are seeking a few volunteers specifically for the Haunted House committee. If you like Halloween decorating, then we need your creativity to enhance this experience for our kids. Please contact the PTO (fugettpto@gmail.com) if interested.

DINING NIGHT OUT

Our last dining night out for the year is next week! On Tuesday, May 9th from 5-7:00 pm both Giorgio's Pizza & Sub, and Marble Slab Creamery (formally Maggie Moo's) of Exton will be donating proceeds of sales to our Fugett PTO. These restaurants are conveniently located right next to each other, so we hope you can support the PTO by dining out!
