NEW FORMAT FOR
COMMUNICATION:
Starting today,
you will begin receiving this Lower School Newsletter and the Counselor’s
Corner Newsletter Electronically through your grade level blogs,
class emails, social media posts, and/or accessing the FPD website, www.fpdmacon.org. If you prefer a printed
paper copy, those will be available in the Elementary Office.
Why is FPD a great place
to be?
We have many reasons which we will be exploring in an upcoming Facebook video
series, but we really want to hear your reasons! You can tell us why you think
FPD is great by going to www.fpdmacon.org/reasons.
We'll collect all of the reasons and use them in an upcoming article in our
magazine.
Mrs. Krejci has posted some wonderful
new pictures and video of FPD students on her blog, The Viking Music Room.
Visit: www.fpdmusic.com to see and
hear!
Library News: Thank you for
participating in the Birthday Book Club sale at Open House! The children
LOVE being the first ones to check out “their” books and read them with their
names on the nameplate inside. Did you put the party date on your
calendar? Wednesday, Oct. 7th at 3:00 pm. It’s NOT too late to
participate. We still have plenty of books to choose from in the library and
will have them available for another week. Many thanks!
Fall Classes: Check out all the great
offerings for children and adults through our FPD Center for Discovery!
Soccer, chess, lacrosse, Bricks4Kidz, gymnastics, music, baking, dance, crafts,
yoga – and many more! To view brochure and register online, go to www.fpdmacon.org/center-for-discovery.
Invite a friend to sign up with you!
3K, Pre-K, K Carpool and
Parking:
If you need to come inside the Kindergarten building during school hours please
PARK in the Fine Arts parking lot or in a parking space. DO NOT leave your car
unattended on the curb near the building. This blocks the walkway for classes
during school and the flow of traffic during carpool. Thanks!
The Viking Store has Lands’ End short sleeve
polo shirts in stock! We also have a great selection of spirit T-shirts for
Fridays (must be worm with uniform bottoms.) You can see these designs and more
on Facebook at FPD-The Viking Store. We have a huge selection of new novelty
items such as VIKINGNATION street signs, wall decorations, automobile vanity
plates, and key chains. Open M-F, 7:45 am - 3:30 pm next to the cafeteria
in the MAC. Also, visit us at home football games at our remote location.
NOT ON THE LUNCH PLAN? Your child can still
eat in the lunchroom any day:
Cost? $7, billed to your FPD account How?
Parents/students should send a note to the Elementary office or email: carrie.rogers@fpdmacon.org (Visitors
are still welcome and may pay with cash or check if needed)
BAND CONCERT: On Tues., Oct. 6th,
our FPD bands will perform in our Fine Arts Center at 7:30pm. The
program features our 3 concert bands and the Mercer University Wind Ensemble,
directed by Dr. Douglas Hill. Concert is free! Come enjoy a night of beautiful
music by our talented FPD and Mercer student musicians.
