FULMORE MIDDLE SCHOOL
WEEK OF 10/31/16
FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
Bravo! Encore! Encore! Fantastic Falcon performances from our band and orchestra students who played brilliantly! Musical selections supported the season putting us all in the mood to celebrate fall 2016. It was spooktacular!
We are well into our second six-weeks period and our Falcons are committed to learning. Parents, please continue to be involved in your child’s education. Ask them how they are doing in school and find out if they need extra help in any area. Our Fulmore teachers are just as committed as the students and are available for tutoring after-school. Encourage your child to attend tutoring regularly.
Next Wednesday, November 2 from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. please join us for Literacy Night. This is an event that can be enjoyed by the entire family. We have books, games, prizes, snacks, and merriment to go around to all members of our Falcon families. Also, we will have our annual Scholastic Book Fair during this time as well, that will run until Friday, November 4th, so please stop by the library to check it out.
We have two opportunities for you to become involved at Fulmore Middle School. The CAC (Campus Advisory Committee) will meet on November 14 in the Library at 4:00 pm. This group offers guidance in the operation of the Campus. Also, you are invited to the Parent’s Coffee on November 4 at 8:15 a.m. Several topics, including After School Clubs, Sunshine Program, and Parent Cloud training will be discussed. Please come if you are available.
Early voting has started. Go vote and bring your Falcon with you so they can see what it means to go-to-the-polls-and-vote!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend,
Lisa A. Bush

PLEASE JOIN US FOR LITERACY NIGHT
FROM THE PTA
PTA has some important activities coming up, opportunities for students and families to help out at Fulmore and to earn volunteer hours!
1. Campus Beautification Day is this Sunday, October 30th. If you would like to volunteer (your student can get volunteer hours for helping, too), meet in the Fulmore Courtyard at 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning. There will be numerous different activities around campus, about 8-9 different projects of varying lengths, including work on the outdoor garden and surrounding trail. Please consider joining Fulmore PTA members and members of the Restore Austin congregation as they beautify our campus! Work clothes, gloves and basic garden tools are recommended.
2. Book Fair begins Monday, October 31st and runs through Friday November 4th. Book Fair is open during the day but will also be open Thursday evening during Literacy Night. Please stop by the library and purchase some new books for yourself, your student or your teacher! Yes, teachers sign up for books they’d like for the classroom! Come check out the wide range of offerings.
Reading is the best way to learn, have fun, and let your imagination discover whole new worlds. Funds raised go to our library for the benefit of our kids. There are books for all ages, fiction and non-fiction, serious and funny.
And don't forget you can still volunteer at SignUp.com by filling a two-hour shift, or with decorations with a Fall theme (drop them off at the Teachers’ lounge with a Book Fair label).
Next PTA Executive Board meeting is at 7:45 a.m. on November 3rd; next Staff Appreciation breakfast is at 7:45 a.m. on November 10th.
See you at Fulmore!
