Parents,

We had a great first week of December here at FBUS. Thank you to all who participated in our 15 Dolphin Days of December Spirit! Here is a reminder for next week. We are also encouraging great attendance and raffling off prizes for those who come to school consistently! Please note that our classes are still going out to recess when temperatures are chilly, so send your child in a warm jacket, gloves and a hat. If your child has outgrown their coat and needs a new one, connect with our Family Liaison, Dolores Elliot, to see what is available!

To encourage students to attend school over the next three weeks before winter break, we are implementing lots of fun and incentives.  Please take a look at the 15 days of spirit flier and the raffles each week. If your child is sick, of course keep him or her at home. However, if they feel great- send them in and join the fun!
