The Power of Optimism


Happy Friday everyone!  Parents, please do not forget to get your tickets next week for the Siani Strong Gala.  The first 30 parents of seniors to purchase from the BT Business Office will receive a free ticket for their senior(s).  Contact me to get your tickets.  All tickets must be purchased by next Friday.  

Also don't forget to bring your friends, neighbors, and family to the Falcon Parent University that could save you money on your energy bill. This program is open to everyone in the community. Please spread the word.  With the cold weather we have been having, I am sure that everyone is looking to save money.  Remember winter is far from over.  Register today for this money-saving FPCU!

Don't forget that all schools will be operating on an early dismissal schedule next Friday, January 26.  Finally, please be sure to read this Falcon Flyer regarding the impact of the snow days, which was also in the last newsletter. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Liz
