Greetings!
Earlier this month, I had the pleasure to see my third son graduate from CHS. High school graduation is such a big milestone. It is hard for me not to get emotional when I have to admit that my sweet little boy is now a young man ready to go off on his own.
As I watched the young men and women march across the stage to receive their diplomas, I thought about FLITE and the programs we offer to children in our district. It is our wish that every T/E student has this very opportunity. Education is a gift we give to our children to help them mature and to become independent. For those who need additional assistance to accomplish this goal, FLITE stands ready to fund needed programs to support academics from preschool through high school.
The desks will be cleared and lockers emptied this week, but FLITE will remain actively engaged to make sure the summer programs are operating smoothly and that we are ready for the new school year ahead.
It's been a great year. We thank you for all your help, and we appreciate your continued support of FLITE.

End of Year Review
This past school year has been a year of growth for FLITE programs. We have added 6 new programs over the past 12 months:
- Innovation in the Classroom
- School Supplies
- Library Summer Reading Books
- Reading Adventure Packs
- Leap into Learning
- Green Valley Summer Learning Program
We now offer a total of 18 different programs serving students from preschool through 12th grade. FLITE funded programs provided help over 1,500 times this year, representing a 200% increase over our prior year. To review the list of programs we now support, click here. The website is new this year too. You will find it easier to navigate and to find current information about committee contacts, programs, and events.
We would not have been able to fund these amazing programs without the financial support of the T/E community. Thank you to everyone who donated to FLITE and/or attended one of our many community events this past year. We raised money and had fun at the FLITE vs. the Harlem Wizards basketball game, the C.A.S.E Golf Outing, Main Line School of Rock Night, the Landmark Americana Event, Beaumont Movie Night and the Louella and Solemate shopping days. Because of your generosity, T/E students have the opportunity to more fully participate in the excellent education offered by our district.
