Beaujolais 2013
 
Looking for sponsors! Sponsoring the Festival is a great way to advertise a company and support the school. Please click here for details, or contact Louise Jakobson with any questions.
 
Wanted: a key volunteer! We need a volunteer to help out with the program book sales by managing the ads in the Beaujolais Festival's program book, working closely with the Advancement Office, and the Auction and Art Committees. Specifically, the volunteer will:
  • Follow up on potential leads passed by Advancement Office, Auction Committee and other volunteers.
  • Contact potential advertisers. When advertisements are confirmed, collect and relay all ad and payment information. Follow up if necessary.
No previous experience is needed, just an outgoing personality and an interest in communication. Time commitment represents a couple of hours a week during the summer and fall. You will meet wonderful parents and will gain experience while having fun. And you will be contributing in raising money for our school! Contact Stephanie Naudo at snaudo@gmail.com with any questions.
 
Wanted: Buddy Families
 
Each year, FASRI pairs up new parents with veterans to help our incoming families feel welcome and learn about school life.

Would you like to be a buddy family? If so, please e-mail Raissa at rmensah@fasri.org for information. Thank you in advance for your help.

Send postcards to Kindergarten

 

Celine Cyr's Kindergarten class is learning about the countries of the world, and they would like your help!

 

There are so many different nationalities represented here at FASRI. If you could have a relative overseas (or across the borders!) send our Grande Section a postcard, or if you'd like to send one while traveling over April break, it would be a great way for them to explore new places.
