Family Fall Fun
Dear FSA Elementary Families,
We’re challenging our families to get together and experience some family fall fun! As we leave the month of October and enter the month of November, we would like to provide our families with an opportunity to participate in an elementary-wide 3D pumpkin decorating contest. This is an optional contest and fall-themed activity for all PK-5th grade FSA students. On Friday, November 6th our on campus learners will bring home their family fall challenge & materials. On Saturday, November 7th our virtual learners will visit campus during their designated time slot to drive through and pick up their November virtual learning resources and family fall challenge materials. The contest will officially start following the last resource pick up slot on Saturday! Your family has Saturday afternoon, evening and Sunday morning to work together and decorate your mini pumpkin! When you are finished, you will post a photo of your finished pumpkin to the FSA Facebook Page under the contest post. The pumpkin to receive the MOST LIKES on facebook by 4:30pm on Sunday, November 8th will be designated our WINNING pumpkin! Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded during our Sunday evening viewing of a fun fall-themed movie via Zoom on November 8th at 5:00pm. Check out your Family Fall Fun bag either brought home by your student on Friday OR picked up during November virtual resource pickup for more details, a movie treat to enjoy, and your ticket for movie admission!

NED's Mindset Mission Comes to FSA
NED’s Mindset Mission is a positive behavior program. A world-class performer takes our students on an interactive educational journey filled with storytelling, illusions, yo-yo tricks and humor. NED’s message and memorable friends inspire students, promote academic achievement, and support our school goals. Throughout the assembly students will be led by clues and memorable characters as NED overcomes Mt. Everest's toughest obstacles, uncovered inner-treasures, and grows his brain. Throughout the performance, students will discover how to activate their growth mindset to overcome social, emotional and academic challenges.
