Good Afternoon, Fowler Families,

Some things are just fun to watch — and I have to admit, I love a competitive auction!

Our PTO has officially launched this year’s Fowler fundraiser auction as part of our upcoming Ice Cream Social event, and there are some fantastic items up for grabs.

I encourage everyone to jump on, check it out, and join in on the fun. I may or may not already be trying to outbid a few people on certain items myself! There is nothing more that would make me happier than someone outbidding me so that I don't need to justify to my wife why I needed to withdraw a good amount of money! But, at least it will go a good cause!

Thank you, as always, for supporting our amazing PTO and the many opportunities they help provide for our students and school community.

Happy bidding!

Keith

Have a great weekend!

The Maynard-Clinton Lodge of Elks #1568 will be holding their Flag Day ceremony on Wednesday, June 10th at Memorial park on Summer Street. The ceremony will begin at 6:15 and is about one hour long. Come hear the history of the flags used throughout American history, the symbolic meaning behind the flag's colors and design, and more. If it rains, the ceremony will be held at the Maynard-Clinton Elks Lodge, 34 Powder Mill Rd, Maynard.

Given the recent decline in school meal participation across all three schools, our goal is to better understand the underlying causes and identify any barriers impacting student engagement. Gathering direct feedback from students and families will be an important step in determining whether there are concerns related to menu options, access, scheduling, or other factors.

I’ve reviewed the surveys and believe they are asking the right questions. PLEASE REVIEW THE SURVEYS IN ADVANCE OF THIS MEETING.

Spring sports season has begun and The Booster Club is excited to open the snack shack for our upcoming home events for both High School and Middle Schoolers. For new parents, the Snack Shack at Alumni Field is run totally by parent volunteers and we welcome having new families join us. A shift in the snack shack is an easy and fun way to get involved. Track meets can be long and a shift in the shack is a great way to pass the time and stay warm! And since we are just steps away from the track you are always welcome to step out to watch your athlete in their event!

The sign up link is below. We hope to see you at the snack shack...and for the person who volunteers the most shifts the Booster Club would love you to pick an item from our school store site on us!
