Join the PFSO!

Yesterday in A/A, students received membership forms (printed on green paper) and were asked to bring them home to all of you.

The PFSO does a lot to support what’s happening here at Stout.  For only $7.00, you can show your support too!

Those who register early, by Friday, March 21st, will be entered in a drawing to win a $30 gift card (one per grade level).  Also, the A/A with the most memberships will win a breakfast party!

If your student did not bring a form home and you’re interested in being a part of the PFSO, you can pick up a form at conferences tonight or you can email me and I’ll send one your way.

As always, thank you for parterning with us in your student’s education!
