Your support in and out of school is so very important and valued. Thank you for all that you do for our whole FAW community. Part of what makes our school so wonderful is your involvement in our activities. Sometimes we have community building events that are meant to gather us together as a school family and get to know each other while having fun. Other times we host fundraisers to help our school raise the money needed to support the school's operating budget and curriculum. We value you and your God given talents! We invite you to be an active parent by getting involved in various activities throughout the year. Please visit the volunteer opportunity form to let us know how you'd like to be involved this year. We are looking for 100% participation in completing this form. Please take 5 minutes (or less!) to complete the form.

In the entertainment world, fall sports are underway, and summer sports are drawing to an end with the world series fast approaching (Go O’s!!). At school, we have many things to keep us active including cross country and now basketball and cheerleading. Along with these activities comes sports related injuries & medical emergencies, such as sprains, strains, breaks, head injuries, and heart problems. Sometimes we have pre-existing conditions that need to be addressed; thus it is important to speak to your doctor and have a β€œsports physical” before starting anything new. When playing sports, warm ups and stretching beforehand are very important to prevent injuries; as is staying hydrated at all times. Lastly, if you are injured, you should seek treatment immediately and follow orders to heal and prevent further or lasting damage. The acronym RICE, which stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation, is appropriate treatment for many sports injuries and is something useful to remember.
