All School

There is a flurry of activity at FASRI as we prepare for holiday shows and the final week before vacation. Please note the following: 
  • The Maternelle Holiday Show will start at 1:30 PM this Friday. Doors open at 1:15. Please pay attention to posted parking signs when arriving and do not park on the school side of John Street (fire lane).   
  • The Grade 1 through 8 Holiday Show is the following Friday, also at 1:30 PM.  
  • Please continue to check the lost and found for missing items this December. Anything not claimed by holiday break will be donated to charity. 
Middle school food drive

The Middle School made their presentations to other classrooms this week to get the word out about their drive for the RI Food Bank. Donations may be brought in up until December 18. The holidays can be a harsh season for those who need food and our students have an ambitious goal of collecting 600 lbs of food this year to help. Let's help them reach their goal! You can send donations in your child's backpack, or deliver them yourself to the various boxes located around the school building.

The most needed items are:
- canned tuna, fruits, vegetables or soups
- pastas, rice
- cereals, granola bars
- peanut butter

The Middle School Students thank you for your participation! 

Beaujolais online auction

FASRI's post-Beaujolais Festival online auction is open until Thursday, December 12. There are some wonderful items still up for grabs, such as a year of school lunch from Cafe de Vie, so click here to get your final bids in now!  

Extracurricular reminders

Anne Kapstein will be out of the office this week for training. She will be available by email and cell phone: 917-769-2441.

Cooking club will not be held on December 13th. A make-up session for cooking will be on January 13th for Les Grands and January 14th for Les Petits. Each session will be 1.5 hours, from 3:15-4:45 pm.
