FAE Parent Update - September 2022
What Parents Need to Know Vol 2.5 Ed. 4
We are on a journey…
Happy Fall, Panther Families!
Next Wednesday, October 5th marks the end of a successful 1st 9wks. Soon you will see a banner affixed to our building that announces that Forest Acres is a Leader in Me School! As we rolled out our new vision and mission this year, we are equally excited to begin our journey as a LIM school!
“We only have one chance to prepare students for a world that none of us could possibly predict.” — Muriel Summers
FranklinCovey is partnering with our school to implement the key paradigms (mindset shifts) and practices of The Leader in Me through professional development, coaching, and resources in the first three years. We want our community to know that this opportunity will begin with administration and faculty first. Our staff will have access to resources and coaching to sustain our efforts toward continuous improvement.
The Leader in Me is a whole school transformation process. It teaches 21st century leadership and life skills to students and creates a culture of student empowerment based on the idea that every child can be a leader. We need parental and community support on this journey!

Keyboard Lab - Donors Choose
CLICK HERE to Donate - - - - > https://bit.ly/SupportFAEMusic
Help with the creation of a keyboard station at FAE! By supporting our music program's current DonorsChoose project, your donation will go towards the purchase of 12 Yamaha keyboards for the music classroom. Students will have the opportunity to not only learn piano for 9-weeks but will embrace and showcase creativity, composition, and camaraderie in the process. With your support, we can make kids and keyboards the perfect combination!
Come join Mrs. Wilson, Reading Coach
We welcome children from our community to attend with a parent/guardian to enjoy a story, fun activities, and a snack. Every child will take home a new book to add to their home library!
