Campus vs. Campus Canned Food Drive

The Campus vs. Campus Canned Food Drive is in full swing!

I don't know how the Crismon Falcons are doing right at the moment... but it looks like the Gilbert Jaguars are doing GREAT!!!

Keep bringing those canned foods in so we don't get behind!  The canned food drive goes until the end of day Friday, Nov. 2.

Remember, it's the highest average pound/student that will win!  And the school principal and FPAC president who don't win will get pied by the winning principal and president!  And Mrs. Dana and Linda Wheeler (Gilbert FPAC president) do NOT want to get pied!

Also... if we hit 1000 pounds in canned food, Mrs. Dana will kiss a pig!!!  So make sure to bring in those cans!

Thank you!!!

THANK YOU to the parent volunteers who came in to help during the Fall Festival... and those parents who were able to donate to the class baskets!

And a HUGE THANK YOU to the FPAC members, who worked many hours putting together the Fall Festival!

Without all of our volunteers, the Fall Festival would not have been possible!

Scholastic Book Fair

The time has come for our annual Scholastic Book Fair!!!

Starting today, October 24th until November 1st you can order directly from our online Scholastic Book Fair!! Follow this link to start shopping! 

   

We still need volunteers

Fall Festival is coming and we still need volunteers!

Help us by giving your time to help set up, run a game booth for 30 minutes, bake cupcakes, judge the costume parade, help in the book fair, or help clean up.

Without our volunteers we cannot have our Fall Festival!  If you have a teen who needs service hours, we would love to have his or her help as well!  FPAC loves to sign for service hours for a job well done!

Clothing and Household Goods Drive

Fall Break came and went... Did you go through your closets to get rid of the clothes that don't fit, or the items that are hiding in the corner that you just don't really want... now where should you take these items???

BRING THEM TO THE SCHOOL!!!

On October 17, 2018, FPAC will be hosting a Clothing and Household Goods Drive!  We get $$$ for pounds of items that get donated!  AND... Sunshine Acres benefits by getting the items so they can either recycle and use in their facility or they sell in their boutique to help fund what they do!  It's a win, win win!!!

So bring your items on Wednesday, October 17, 2018 and FPAC will have some canopies out front where you can drop off your items!
