🪀ROAR Store Items!
Our big fundraiser of the year, Paw It Forward is in full swing. We are working hard to reach our fundraising goal of $20,000. Have you set up your student’s fundraising page yet? Every student who raises $20 or more will automatically be entered into the grand prize drawing. For every $50 a student raises, they will get another entry! Prizes will include Air Pods, Beats headphones and more!
Click on the link below and click “add a participant” near the bottom of the screen. Set up your fundraising page and share with friends and family today.
Thank you in advance for your support!
We are always looking for donations for the FMS Roar Store. Items popular with our students include hair accessories, sports cards, fidget toys, fuzzy socks, Nee Dohs, Rubick’s Cubes sports equipment (think baseballs, golf tees, etc.), board games, card games and more.
The Roar Store is set to open soon, and PTA has already filled it with tons of great items for our students! Students can redeem roar coupons (earned throughout the year) for items in our store.
PTA recently hosted a caramel apple bar for our staff. PTA provided the apples, and we are grateful to many FMS families for donating the toppings! Thank you to our hospitality chair, Kate, for organizing and to the volunteers who came in to set up and clean up. Our staff was so appreciative!
In addition, we celebrated “crushing” the first month of school with Orange Crush sodas, mandarin oranges and other orange sweets.
To recognize those who serve our country and in celebration of Veteran’s Day, we are collecting cards for the Midwest Honor Flight group. Help us make Veterans feel special and remembered on their honor flights. Generic letters are especially important, because they are used for vets who may not receive many cards or letters from family and friends.
A few guidelines:
Address cards and letters to “Dear Veteran”
Please do not include a date so that cards can be used throughout the year
Pictures, drawings, handwritten noted and cards are all welcome
Please do not include violent drawings, guns, weapons or political content. No glitter either, please.
Most importantly, tell a Veteran thank you!
Please have your student turns cards in at the main office
It's not too late to join the PTA!
