Family Fun Night is just around the corner! Our annual indoor carnival fundraiser has been scheduled for Friday, March 10, 2023. Currently, we are collecting new or pre-loved stuffed toys to be used as prizes that evening. Please send your clean “stuffies” to the school at your earliest convenience. We appreciate your help and generosity as we prepare for a wonderful evening together!
This year, our book fair will feature books from Usborne Books. We are excited to bring this “Reading Wonderland” to our students. On Wednesday, November 30, students will have an opportunity to preview books and make a wish list. The book fair will run Monday, December 5, through Thursday, December 8. Book Fair hours will be as follows:
Monday, 12/5—3:00-4:00pm
Tuesday, 12/6—7:50-9:00am, 3:00-4:00pm

We are needing several parent volunteers to help Mrs. Rozanas on Wednesday, November 30 (Wish List Day), and Wednesday, December 7 (Shopping Day). If you are willing to volunteer, please let Mrs. Rozanas or Mrs. Worrell know.
It is time again for our annual School Work Days. On Friday, August 5, from 4:00-8:00pm, and Saturday, August 6, from 8:00am-12:00noon, volunteers are needed to help get both the Elementary and Middle School/High School campuses ready for the start of the new school year. From cleaning to landscaping, there are jobs for everyone. Please note, if you are planning to help at the Middle School/High School campus, we ask that you park at the Elementary and walk the path to the MS/HS. Paving is scheduled to begin this next week! Yay!
Additional opportunity–Also on Friday, August 5, from 8:00am-4:00pm, we will begin the installation of the new Elementary playground, specifically the natural play area and pea gravel pit. If you would like to also help with this project, please contact Mrs. Worrell via email at cworrell@fcsfalcons.com or call the school office at 815.652,4806.
Make plans now to attend one of the work days…great things are accomplished when we work together! 🙂
