Your 157c Parent Teacher Organization
The End of the Year is Near!
FSP has had it's last meeting of the 2016-2017 school year. The new FSP board will be working over the next few months to get a great plan together for next year. We may even have a completed calendar by the last newsletter to share with you. We are always trying to make things better so if you ever have any suggestions please let us know.
We hope to see many of you at the upcoming Incoming 3rd Grade Parent Step Up Night tonight and the Joliet slammers Game in June!
What's Going On?
Tonight! 3rd Grade Parent Step Up Day at Chelsea
Slammers Ticket Orders
Today was the deadline for the ticket orders for the 157C Night at the Slammers Game. We will get our tickets from the Slammers and start distributing them ASAP. Over 200 tickets were sold. It's going to be a great night for all. Thank You to everyone who purchased tickets.
School Supply Sale for the 2017-2018 School Year
FSP will once again be offering a complete kit of school supplies for your child for purchase. This is a fundraiser for FSP and is not required. You can purchase your own supplies if you prefer. This is just an easy time saving way to make sure you get all your required school supplies for next year. Flyers will be coming out this week regarding the sale from School Toolbox.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the chairperson:

The "Class Of" shirts will also be delivered to the class for students to take home this week.

Teacher Appreciation Week was a great success. Thank You to all the volunteers who helped and donated to this week's activities. The teachers enjoyed every bit of our pampering. Here's some pictures. (Please note, teachers at Hickory Creek were spoiled as well. We missed the picture opportunities.)
