September is Classical Music Month!

The Fontbonne Library currently celebrates the deep satisfaction of music in our Library Update blog: http://fbalibraryupdate.blogspot.com. To observe September as Classical Music month, our blog features tips for using our catalog to find our DVDs and books on classical music, as well as links to opportunities to listen to classical music online. In the Library room, students may browse our display, enjoy reading and listening to the books and DVDs, and access online music. We invite the Fontbonne community to share with us the joy of music.

Good News

   

The Student Council Car Wash, held Saturday September 14, was a great success.  Even though the morning started out rainy and cloudy, the students serviced over 55 cars during the day and made a handsome sum of money to support Student Council activities for the year.

 

The Guidance Department, under the direction of Mrs. Spignesi, planned and hosted a College Mini Fair on Tuesday, September 18.  The term "mini" was not exactly accurate for this event because over 100 colleges and universities were represented.  This was a wonderful opportunity for our seniors and juniors who did not have class to meet college representatives in person.  We always hear such positive feedback about our students from the representatives.
