| Friends School of Atlanta Open House |
The Friends School of Atlanta (FSA) offers three great ways to learn more about Quaker education and its Pre-K through 8th grade offerings.
On Saturday, November 10, 2012, you are invited to an informal in-home gathering hosted by current FSA families at 1975 Mason Mill Road in the Emory area. Held from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm, you will have an opportunity to meet with the host families, FSA students and Waman French, Head of School, to hear more about the FSA program and get answers to your questions. There will be another in-home gathering on Saturday, January 19, 2013, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm, at 492 Clifton Road in Candler Park/Lake Claire.
You are also welcome to attend an Open House on the FSA campus at 862 Columbia Drive in Decatur on Saturday, December 1, 2012, Saturday, January 12, 2013, or Saturday, February 2, 2013. All of these admissions events, to be held from 10:00 am to noon, are designed to inform families considering application to FSA for the 2013-2014 school year.
FSA also regularly conducts two-hour school tours during school hours, where you will get an overview of Quaker education and have an in-depth discussion of the academic program and life of the school community. You will also have an opportunity to meet with students, tour the school and observe in classrooms. Separate tours are offered for Pre-K - 4th grade and 5th - 8th grade families. To learn about tour dates and make a reservation, please visit the home page of FSA's website: www.friendsschoolatlanta.org.

| Friday Food for Firefighters |
Winter is upon us and it's a great time to deliver a meal to our local firefighters!
Providing a meal means having a meal, already cooked, to hand over to the firefighters at Station 13 on Friday evening. The Firefighters request food without pork. A full kitchen is available to them at the Fire Station and they can heat something as needed. Delivery of meals is usually between 5-5:30PM.
Sign up here (pw: friday) to see what dates are available for meals. You might think about sharing different parts of a meal with friends. For example: one or two people might provide the main meal, another could provide bread or a side dish or dessert.
Please call Beth-Ann Buitekant (404-455-8746) for information or if you have questions.
