HOST FAMILIES STILL NEEDED
This year, Franklin Regional School District will offer an opportunity for our students to be part of a unique foreign exchange program with a high school in Ecuador. In order for this program to operate, we need to locate five host families willing to take exchange students into their home for approximately 4 to 5 weeks, during March and April. In addition, we also need students that would be interested in spending approximately 15 days in Ecuador in July.
 
If you would be willing to open your home to a foreign exchange student or if your child would like to travel as part of our foreign exchange program, please  see Ms. Wills in room 130 or Mrs. Thomas in room 128 for applications & more information.
 
Franklin Regional School District takes pride in providing unique educational opportunism. If you have any questions about this program, or are willing to serve as a host family, please contact Ms. Wills (ext 5130) or Mrs. Thomas (ext 5128) at 724-327-5456.
(Ms. Wills and Mrs. Thomas)
 
FYI - Two more host families are needed. The opportunity to be a host family is open to anyone in the high community, your children don't have to be Spanish students.
 
PHONES  STILL NEEDED
The musical is in search of fifty, (50), 1957 style rotary telephones. We can use any color or any design and they do not need to work.  Please check attics, storage areas and garages for this very important prop for a major dance number in the show.  Please bring them to the high school office with your name and phone number if you would like them returned after the show.  Contact Deb Scheinert at FRSTAGEMOM@aol.com  or call 412 491-0062 with any questions.
 
Items for sale and fundraisers...
(New or updated items' titles are highlighted in blue)
 
Editor's note: I will run fundraising announcements in the E-News about once a week. If you are associated with a school related organization and would like to advertise it in the E-News please send me an article to FRHSnews@windstream.net. I have found the simpler the format the better. Often when I copy more complicated items the original formatting (fonts, spacing, colors, etc) doesn't transfer well and I end up having to retype the article. Please be sure to include a contact person and an end date, so I know how long to run the article.
