FAC Weekly Update
November 22, 2019
Good afternoon, Fine Arts Center Family
I hope you had a terrific week! We are fast approaching the Thanksgiving Break, and I wanted to reach out on behalf of the Faculty and Staff of the Fine Arts Center will a little expression of our gratitude...
“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” - Melody Beattie
Wishing you and yours a very Happy Thanksgiving. We thank you for entrusting us with the education of your child...it means the world to us!
Here is the latest from the halls of the FAC...
This Week's Student Leadership Lesson
“As humans, we’re reading books every day to try to figure out how to be someone else. What we don’t do is go inside, turn ourselves inside out, and read our own story. You have to look inside to find out what you really want.”
– David Goggins, Can't Hurt Me
Raise Craze Update
There is ONE MORE WEEKEND left in our Raise Craze Fundraiser. We blew away our goal of $12,000 and are so close to the next threshold of $30,000! Let's work together to finish strong!
As of today...
- There are 326 students registered - only 3 more than last week. If we can get the remaining students involved, we can easily meet our new goal!
- We have collected $27,635 in donations!
- We have completed 508 acts of kindness!
