Message from the President

This past Friday, the PTSA Hospitality team delivered the 2nd Quarter End mailbox treats for 300 FHS Teachers and Staff!  We experienced snow delays along with the kids, but we were right in time for Valentines Day and the long weekend.  😀

Our team packaged full size "Willy Wonka" candy bars for the 300 teachers and staff. Ten bars included "Lucky Golden Tickets" where the ticket holders won a special embroidered prize crafted by our own Ms. Sophea.  

It was a ton of fun organizing the Willy Wonka treats and golden ticket raffle.  Thank you to our special teachers and staff as we've reached the half-way point of the school year!!! A special shout-out to "Candy Blvd" via Amazon for their candy bar donations!

We have two more quarter-end appreciation events and a "Thank You" lunch and raffle giveaways during National Teacher Appreciation Week in early May.  Our next quarter-end goodie will be a "Green" Themed Dessert Grazing Table on Tuesday, March 17th. We cannot do it without your support so please consider donating to @ Hospitality Donations.  For folks interested in volunteering, please be on the look-out for future announcements and sign-up geniuses!
