Dear Farragut Families,
*Kinder Orientation Thursday Aug 22nd 5:15-6:00pm
Back To School Picnic Event-Thursday Aug 22 6:15-7:30pm
*Volunteers Sought
We hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer vacation, but that you are also looking forward to starting up a great new school year at Farragut !!
The Kindergarten Orientation & Welcome Back Picnic Event is scheduled for Thursday, August 22nd.
Kinder orientation is held on the front lawn, right next to the cafeteria, from 5:15 - 6:00 pm and is only for incoming Kindergarten Families, providing an opportunity for incoming kindergarten families to meet our Principal, talk with parents who've already been at the school for a year who can tell them what kindergarten year is all about, and introduce themselves to other kinder families, helping the children get adjusted to their new school year.
The Back To School Picnic is a school-wide portion of the event, conducted from 6:15 pm -7:30 pm, and is open to all Farragut families grades K through 5th grade. We invite you to come into the cafeteria and share a pizza dinner, reconnect with familiar school friends, meet some new families, and enjoy this fun, relaxing event to start up your new school year !
The pizza party starts at 6:15 and cafeteria doors will be opened at that time.
Information tables will be provided and staffed by PTA/Fan club members, so you can learn about the PTA, Fan Club, meet the PTA & Fan Club Presidents, buy an Earthquake Kit, sign-up to join our parent yahoo group, or support 5th Grade Fundraising. Information on Parent volunteer opportunities will also be presented, and we eagerly encourage parent volunteering and your active involvement throughout the year !! We also ask that all students and parents remain in the cafeteria, cafeteria patio, and front lawn areas for this event, and please do not wander school hallways on this date, for our hard-working teachers are still preparing their classrooms for the first days of school. Thanks for your understanding.
Volunteers Sought:
If you are the parent of a 1st through 5th grader, and can help volunteer for 1-2 hours to help with set up, clean up, or food service to our new & returning Foxy Families on Back To School Picnic Day, please let me know if you can help ! I need about 10-12 parents to assist in this effort. I'm looking for adult volunteers only, so please have a child care plan for your own kids if you plan to help out. Please contact Lisa Levin in the next week if you want to help out, for I would LOVE your help. [email protected]
Thanks so much, enjoy your remaining summer break, and we look forward to seeing everyone at Farragut's Kinder Orientation, Back To School Picnic Event on August 22nd !!
