FSOA: Elementary Parent Communication - 8/30/2024

**This communication is for students in grades 3-5.  Information for our secondary students will be in a separate email.**

Dear FSOA Parents/Guardians and Students, 

As August draws to a close, I hope everyone is able to enjoy a well deserved rest over this Labor Day weekend. Additionally, please remember that the district has a professional learning day on Tuesday. Since students do not have classes on Tuesday, we will instead hold synchronous classes on Wednesday

Best, 
Adria Moersen, Principal

Join Us for a Rockies Game & Support Our School! 

• We're absolutely buzzing to share an exciting opportunity with you—a fantastic fundraiser with the Colorado Rockies! 
• For every ticket we sell, our school earns a portion back, but here's the catch—we need to hit at least 50 tickets to start cashing in! So let's rally together—friends, staff, and families—for a fun-filled day at the ballpark. 
• Choose the game that works for you: Fri Sept. 13th, Sat Sept. 14th, or Sun, Sept. 15th. When you snag your tickets, be sure to select our school (Five Star Online Academy) to support our cause! Plus, you can pick your seats at different price points, so there's something for everyone. 

Wellness Bulletin

• Click for this week's Community Wellness Bulletin. This week's highlights for students ages 6-13 include information about a Free Kids Fishing Derby. Highlights for the community include a free sports equipment drive, an event to trade plastic bags for reusable ones, and a volunteering opportunity to clean up a local river.
