PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
COSTUME COMMITTEE MEETING MONDAY
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.

PSSA BREAKFAST UPDATE
Principal Burns, with help through the food service,
will deliver breakfast meals to all 11th grade students on
Wednesday, April 2. This year�s PSSA breakfast will be done a little
differently than in the past, the PTO will be funding this service as before
but we will not be in need of parent volunteers. Thank you to all who had
signed up to help, your support is greatly appreciated.
