FISHKILL PLAINS
NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER
 
 
Dear Parents/Guardians:
 
    Hello from the PTA.  I want to thank all of you who have joined.  If you haven't joined yet, we encourage you to do so at anytime!
 
    For those of you who came to Family Fun Night, I hope you had fun.  I know I did!  This event couldn't have happened without the great volunteers who stepped up.  I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF WHAT YOU DID. If you were not able to come, hopefully you can make the next one.  November is a jam packed month, so write everything down on your calendars now.
 
    Monday, November 5th is the Benefit Day at Craftsman by Design (in Poughkeepsie Plaza Mall); this is a great opportunity to pick up perfect gifts before the holidays and help  to raise money for a 4th grade field trip to Albany.  Also, consider our  Handmade Candles by Beacon Lights fundraiser as gifts;  scents are available at the school to sample.   Soon you will receive an order form for spirit wear with a new design.  There will be medium sizes hanging at the school if you're unsure of the size.
 
    If you signed up for Fishkill Plains e-mail distribution list and are not receiving e-mails, go to the F.P. website (http://www.wappingersschools.org/Plains/) and unsubscribe, then RE-subscribe.  That should take care of it.
 
    We are in need of BAKERS for a few bake sales coming up November 7th & 8th.  If you still would like to participate or volunteer for the book fair, contact Nancy Buck(NABuck@frontiernet.net)  or Lisa Ruvo (LRuvo22@aol.com).
 
    I wish everyone a FESTIVE FALL and hope you come to our next meeting, and/or volunteer for a function in the school.  We are only as good as our volunteers.  For any info e-mail fppta@optonline.net
