Our students are looking forward to this memorable event - thanks for your support! Spread the Sunshine from Fouse to Florida! For the Fall Harvest Party, the PTO is partnering with the Fouse Staff Service Leaders Committee for a project called "Spread the Sunshine". As a school, we will be donating spare change to help with the hurricane relief effort in Florida. We will be helping Lee Elementary School in Tampa during a very challenging time. The school is a world studies and technology magnet school that was devastated by a fire after Hurricane Irma hit. This left the staff and students in need of the very basics to learn and teach. Our plan to "Spread the Sunshine" will begin this coming week. Students are asked to drop off monetary donations in their classroom. As we mentioned, donations of any size are appreciated - even spare change will do; no amount is too small as long as it is given from the heart. During the Fall Party, each classroom will have a card-making station during the party, so that our students have the opportunity to make a card and/or write a letter of encouragement to students at the school we will be supporting. The collection will conclude after the party, at the end of the day on Friday, 10/13. A copy of the "Spread the Sunshine" flier that was sent home on Friday, 9/29, is attached for your reference. On behalf of the Staff Service Leaders/Hurricane Relief Committee, thank you for helping Lee Elementary feel the warmth of the sunshine spread from Fouse to Florida.
