Hello from the Fugett PTO!
We are still in need of a few people to chair the Fright Night Committee! It seems like a large task, but if a number of people do it, it makes it easier. NO CHAIR, NO EVENT! Here is the committee description below:
Fright Night: This could be a two-person chair. (Many hands make light work!) The chair(s) of this committee oversee the event of Fright Night held in October. This is a well-oiled machine which has specific notes and instructions for it. The commitment is for September and October. It is mostly emails for planning and then in person for the week of the event.
If you are interested in this committee or just want more information, please email the PTO at FugettPTO@gmail.com!
