The Falcon Flash
Foskett Ranch Elementary Newsletter
September 4, 2019
NOTE FROM THE PRINCIPAL...
Please see the Fall Picture Schedule below and note the day your student's teacher has been assigned. We do it over two days to give our photographers time to give each student a chance to get the best photo possible.
This year we are continuing our writing focus. Each trimester grade levels and I get together and analyze student writing samples - one text type each trimester. We have noticed our students have retained what they developed the previous year in writing and are applying their skills and knowledge as they reach even newer heights in writing.
We look forward to seeing you all at Blaze Pizza tomorrow night!

Blaze Pizza Night
FIRST DINE OUT NIGHT – BLAZE PIZZA 9/5 – 4pm to 8pm:
Come and join Foskett families at Blaze Pizza (next to Panda Express) for our first Dine Out night of the new school year. Blaze Pizza is one of the newest Lincoln restaurants and serves amazing pizza and salads. Blaze is generously donating a portion of the proceeds back to the school. A flyer will be going out to each of the students this week – check for it in their backpacks. PTO will also post the flyer on FB on the Parents of Foskett Ranch page and here.
Be sure to show the poster so the school receives credit for your purchase.
APEX Fun Run Is Coming!!
The APEX Fun Run will begin accepting pledges on 9/10. The actual run will be on 9/19 this year. It has been moved up earlier in the year (usually held in the Spring) because it is the ONLY big fundraiser this year. This really needs to be a successful campaign as it needs to cover expenses that have historically been covered by two Big fundraisers a year. The goal is to make it ONE and DONE this year.
The Scholastic Book Fair is here!
Come to Room 103 to find books that you want to own. The fair is open every day after school. If you can’t attend, you can send your child to shop with ewallet. You can also shop online, and the books will be delivered to the school.
