PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
COSTUME COMMITTEE MEETING
There will be a planning meeting on Monday, March
31st after school in the auditorium for all of those interested in
helping sew costumes for Pride and Prejudice. If you want to help and
cannot attend, please let Mrs. Babal know. Thanks to all willing to
lend a needle!!!
(Mrs. Babal,
jbabal@franklinregional.k12.pa.us)
FYI-
Speaking as a previous "costume mistress" no contribution is too
small. All offers of help are welcomed and appreciated. You don't have
to have a child involved in the production to help out. Maybe you just
like to sew or maybe you are an Austen fan and would love to help
recreate her world on stage at FRHS, it doesn't matter what your motive,
just please consider helping out. Thanks.

ALUMINUM CAN RECYCLING
Annie Essay's and Judy
Polcyznski's classes collect aluminum cans. The
Life Skill classes use the money earned to
participate in functional and community based
activities such as the Special Olympics.
Cans can be dropped off in the fenced-in
collection bin behind the Middle School. The
cage is just for loose aluminum cans. No
plastic bottles or bi-metal cans, please.
Please DO NOT put bags in the cage! If you have
collected your cans in a bag or some other
container and you are unable to dump the cans
into the cage, please do not toss them in
container and all. Simply place your container
on the pavement near the cage and the students
will take care of it. If a bag is tossed into
the cage someone must physically climb into the
cage and remove it! This can be dangerous, not
to mention unpleasant and in the warm
weather the bees and yellow jackets add to the
safety concerns whenever someone has to climb in
to remove bagged cans. So please remember - ONLY
LOOSE CANS IN THE CAGE. Thanks!
The aluminum can
collection and recycling program is an all-year
activity.

for them by giving them our school ID# - 70087330.
