Family School Partnership News
Your 157c Parent Teacher Organization
Well Hello September.....
School is officially in session! It's been an adjustment for many to get back into the school routine, but everyday seems to get easier and easier!
Thank you to all those who attended this year's first FSP meeting this morning. To those who couldn't make it, we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming FSP meetings. Our next one is scheduled for Tuesday, October 3rd at 9:30AM at the District Office Board Room located in Grand Prairie. Mark you calendars!
We do still have a few chairperson positions available. Please consider helping out your school district. It's a great way to become involved, meet other parents and be a part of your child's education. Contact Tina Kohler at fsptina@yahoo.com for details.

About 157-c Family School Partnership (FSP)
We are the 157c Parent Teacher Organization. We are non-profit. We provide free family events as well as parent support, teacher appreciation, assembly funds, and curriculum enrichment. All parents with students in 157c are encouraged to help us. We can only do as much as we can with the volunteers that help. If you prefer not to support our fundraisers you can always support us by donating to our un-fundraiser. You can do this via Rev-Trak under FSP.
