We are asking our Alumni students who graduated Grade 8 from FASPS to complete a survey about your high school experiences. Please complete the survey if you are a current high school student so we can continue to make sure the FASPS experience leads to a great transition to high school. We appreciate your cooperation and value your honest and productive feedback. The survey will remain open until June 20, 2015. 

Do you know anyone who would like to attend the Summer Camp at FASPS? Registration is open until May 30. We are looking forward to having several FASPS alumni students volunteer at the camp again this year!
