Who is the FSO?
 
We are ALL the FSO! We’re a strong and active group of parents, guardians, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, family friends, administration, and staff who strive to provide a wide variety of community-building and service activities to improve the overall experience of families at our school.
 
What does the FSO do?
 
We head fundraising efforts for specific projects and programs such as new outdoor learning environments, playground improvements, and an activity bus. Fundraising is achieved through large, planned events such as the annual auction as well as smaller fundraising activities throughout the school year.
 
The FSO also coordinates community-building events such as socials, Cultural Festival, and our annual Pancake Breakfast.
 
How can you be involved?
 
1) Come to one of our meetings! These are listed on the school calendar.
2) Email our FSO presidents for more information!
