FRHS E-News
January 9, 2008
Lots of news today! Don't forget to watch the morning announcements as
well as read the notices posted on the website everyday. It seems to me
there are always one or more items mentioned on the broadcast that don't
have a corresponding notice. Plus I no longer repeat all of the
announcements in the e-news so the website is your best resource for the
daily happenings at the school.
Mark your calendar.....
