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.

 
Community Café & Croissants
 
Thursday, May 23
8:30 - 9:30 AM
At FASRI
 
FASRI is opening its doors to the community for a Cafe & Croissants breakfast later this month. 
 
The goal of the event is to invite people who may have an interest in education, dual language, French, or who want to know more about the school in their neighborhood. 
 
Please feel free to share the link to this event with your network: http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=9lhjdadab&oeidk=a07e7dqszl2a21b8b41
 
FASRI parents are welcome to attend with interested friends/colleagues/other contacts. This event is not designed specifically as an admissions event, but prospective families are of course welcome, if interested.
 
Thank you for helping FASRI to network. We want to reach out to the community, and you can help!

 

Volunteers Needed!
We need 4 volunteers to help with setting up, serving breakfast, and clean-up (between 7:45 and 10 AM). Please contact Raissa Mensah if you would like to help! Thank you so much!
 
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.
