Adviser Greg Stobbe has secured a photo session with Tom Milne of Milne Photography for the annual Feather yearbook and staff photo.
All Feather staff members are asked to be at Milne Photography (1285 E. Nees, just west of Cedar) on Nov. 3, no later than 6:55 a.m. The group will set up in Milne’s outdoor studio in the back for a photo shoot. Parents will need to pick up their students between 7:30-7:45 a.m. in order to get them to first period. Mr. Stobbe does not have the ability to take everyone back to school on time.
Please do not be late. This is a one-time opportunity for this photo and there will be no re-shoots. Wear something comfortable. If students have Feather spirit wear, please wear it. Feather wear is available for purchase in the lab. Staff may also choose to wear something that is unique to them as long as it is in dark colors and in dress code.
Photos may be available for purchase at a later date. For more information, contact Stobbe at [email protected].
ADVENTURE P.E.
Sign ups are now open for Adventure P.E. kayaking at Pismo Beach on Friday, Nov. 6. The cost is approximately $25.
FALL HARVEST HOME TOUR
The Parent Support Network is hosting a Fall Harvest Home Tour on Saturday, Nov. 14. Five different homes representing Fresno Christian families will be featured on the tour.
The tour runs from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m,. and homes may be visited anytime during those hours. In addition, refreshments will be served at two of the homes.
This is a fundraiser which will benefit high school activities, scholarships and teacher recognition gifts. Tickets are available for $20 in advance or $25 on the day of the tour; they can be purchased at any of the school offices.
For additional information, please contact Pam Powell at 432-8887.
BOOK BUDDIES VOLUNTEERS
Campus students have been involved in the Book Buddies program at the Pinedale Elementary School for a few years. This program helps students with low reading skills to improve their abilities (often, English is their second language). Tests reveal that the Book Buddies program improves the reading level of the participants dramatically.
The Book Buddies program will be every Thursday, beginning Oct. 22 until Dec. 17 from 12 to 1:15 p.m. A commitment must be made for the entire program. The elementary children feel very rejected when their Book Buddy does not show up. Participating FC students will miss chapel to serve others.
LUNCH ON RAINY DAYS
Lunch will be eaten in Rooms 602 and 604 instead of in the GZ Quad on days when it rains.
CSF TUTORING PROGRAM
CSF is sponsoring a free tutoring program for high school, junior high and elementary students. CSF members will be offering one free tutoring session per week during free time: lunch, after school or a study hall. Mat and English, of all levels, are available for tutoring. If interested, sign up in front of the high school office or contact CSF adviser Molly Sargent or Suzanna Quiring for more information.
