Who - or what - is FPAC?

Benjamin Franklin Charter School - GILBERT CAMPUS
F P A C
Franklin Parent Advisory Council

WHO:  Parents and/or legal guardians of students at BFCS become members of the Franklin Parent Advisory Council (FPAC).  Each school year, a group of parents make up the board, and officers are elected:  president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer. 
WHAT:  Parent forums are conducted monthly.  Everyone is welcome!  Currently, meetings are held at the school on the first Tuesday of each month.

FPAC sponsored events, activities, and programs include, but are not limited to:

● Fall Festival (our only fundraiser) Teacher & Staff Appreciation
 Art Masterpiece Music Masterpiece
 Yearbook
 Family Fun Nights
 Field Day Poetry Contest
 Health Screening 100th Day Celebration Box Tops FPAC Newsletter
 Uniform Sales


DUES:  Annual dues are $20 per family, per school year.  This is a GOOD DEAL considering the many programs sponsored and funded by FPAC.  Best of all, by paying annual dues, you will NOT have to send your child(ren) door-to-door selling anything!  Dues are paid at registration by check or cash.

YOU:  Since FPAC activities, events, and programs are all run by volunteers, we need your help!  You are asked to sign-up at registration for a Fall Festival committee (our annual fundraiser), and one other committee to help with one of the activities or programs listed above.  If we all work together then no one has to do as much work! 

For more information, please contact FPACGilbert@gmail.com.
Thanks for your help in making our school great!
