Forest Park News
From Principal Lisa Newlyn
10/07/2019
This week you'll see a new face in the front car line. No light saber for Ms. Meyer, but I'm pretty sure she does have The Force. I"m out of the office taking care of my mom who is entering an assisted living residence. Kris Meyer, former Ainsworth Elementary Principal, is here for me through the end of the week. If you email, you'll see my out of office reply. Please know I am checking on things from time to time, but have full confidence that Ms. Meyer will have business well in hand while I'm away.
I will be attending the upcoming FOFPE Meeting, and encourage all of you to attend as well. Scott Bailey, PPS School Board Director, is joining us as we advocate for the 2020 Bond. Please plan to join us, October 10 @ 6:30pm in the FPE Library.
We had a great turn out for Volunteer Orientation this past Friday. Thank you all 40 of you for coming and getting high level information from me on the ins and outs of an FPE Parent Volunteer! For those who missed, please review the PPS Website for Background Check and more: https://www.pps.net/volunteer
I'm looking forward to sharing high level information with our community next week, at the Fall State of the School Address, 10/15/19 @ 6:30pm, followed by TAG Parent Night led by Ms. Axon @ 7:15pm. FPE has lots to celebrate as well as goals to focus on to continue our success. Take a look at FPE Mission, Vision, and Goals for 2019-2020.
Thanks to everyone who has given their $110 donation for school supplies! We are nearly at our goal of 100% school-wide. Your $110 goes towards school supplies ($50), classroom field trips ($35) and online tools (Freckle/Typing Agent, $25). Did you know your donation is tax deductible and qualifies for company matching?! (See blurb, below.)
There's lots more to know about life in the land of Forest Park; read on below.
Warmly,
Lisa Newlyn, Principal
