MORNING ANNOUNCEMENTS
The "Panther News Break" - the high school's morning
announcement show is now posted daily on the Franklin Regional Website. Go
to:
http://www.franklinregional.k12.pa.us/highschool/morningannouncements.asp
Click on the date to see the show for that day.
Friday's announcements included: Blood drive notice, Picture
Day reminder, SNAP Picnic details, Class Ring sale notice, 9th grade class
officer notice, club meeting details, and a scholarship notice from the
Counseling Center.
Thursday's announcements included: a Cross Country report,
jump drive sale, Dancesport club notice, club meeting details, and college
visit schedule.
I strongly recommend you add this site to your favorites and
get in to the habit of checking it daily. That way you and your child
can always be informed about what is happening at school.
(ASB)
FYI - Please note that Counseling
Center's morning announcements are written up on the Counseling Corner
webpage. Go to:

(ASB)
CORRECTION
The Class Ring Sale packets were distributed to sophomores in
their first period classes NOT their English classes.
(ASB)
FYI - If your child is a junior or senior and
is interested in purchasing a class ring extra packets are available in the
main office.
(ASB)
SCHOOL PICTURE DAY
Just a reminder that tomorrow is picture
day for students in grades 9-11. Order forms were sent home last week.
Remember the correct order form has a blank white space in the middle of the
form. Order forms and payments must be turned in when your child is
photographed.

COLLEGE CREDIT FOR HONORS
IV AND V WORLD LANGUAGE CLASSES
Important information for parents of
Honors French and Honors Spanish levels IV and V students: a packet of
information about the LaRoche Scholars program is being distributed
Monday, September 17 in class. Parents, please take a careful look
at this information! It's a great opportunity for your child!
(Madame Schneider)
COLLEGE IN HIGH SCHOOL
INFORMATION
College in High School (CIHS) is a statewide program that partners high
schools and post secondary schools to help students earn credits toward
high school graduation and college simultaneously.
Letters were handed out those students who are enrolled in the nine
classes being offered this year as part of the CIHS program. In the
letter the charges for the CIHS courses was presented. It was mentioned
that FR had received a Duel Enrollment Grant to help offset the costs,
but the exact amount was not know at the time the letter was written. I
now have that information.
Grant monies will lower the cost of CIHS $20 per course.
One 3-credit course at California University will now cost $55
One 3-credit course at LaRoche College will now cost $85.
Registration (form and check) will take place in the Counseling Center
and will run from September 17th through September 21st.
Students need to complete a registration form for EACH class that they
take. However, students may bring ONE CHECK with a combined total for
all classes. Checks must be made out to FRANKLIN REGIONAL SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
(ASB, based on letter sent home and information provided by Ms. Mellon)
FYI - If you would like to learn more
about the CIHS program and other options for dual enrollment there is a
brochure available on the counter in the main office.

Six to eight NHS members are needed to
serve as guided at Open House on Tuesday, September 26th. Volunteers should

ATTENTION ATHLETIC BOOSTER
SPONSORS
I am requesting to
have any athletic booster sponsors to contact me if you have a project or
idea that would have anything that you may need art students to help you
out. Our National Art Honor Society high school students are looking for
their community project ideas for this year. We do have some limitations as
far as what we are able to do, but we will try to work with you if
possible. Please contact: Mrs. Lori Mozina at:
lmozina@franlinregional.k12.pa.us
(email is faster). Phone me at x.5134 if you do not have email access.

HOMECOMING BONFIRE
Let's get "FIRED"
Up! It is that time of year again- bonfire time! The homecoming bonfire
this year will be on Thursday, October
11th at 6:30 pm on the side soccer
field of the high school (same as the last few years). If you would like to
have a booth at the bonfire, please contact
Sandy Pianetti at x5011
to set it up.
If there are any questions,
comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact
Bret Thompson at x5132 or x5034

great event. Try to come if you can- it is a lot of fun for everyone and

YEARBOOK AWARD
The 2007 Quill received a gold rating from
the Columbia Scholastic Press Association last week. As a gold rated
yearbook, the Quill will be entered into another contest in hopes of
being named Columbia's Gold or Silver Crown winner. This award has given
us national recognition.

PTO news....
(New
or updated items' titles are highlighted in blue)
STUDENT DIRECTORY AND PTO MEMBERSHIP FORM
Don't forget to return the PTO membership/student
directory form. The Student Directory is a great resource,
especially for the many group projects when fellow classmates need
to be contacted. Some families buy more than one copy; one for the
student, one for the parents or one for the home and one for the
car.
Also please don't forget that the high school PTO
does absolutely no fundraising and relies on membership donations to
keep our sponsored activities going.
(ASB)
FYI - If your son or daughter ran off
with their schedule, envelope and all, before you could retrieve the
PTO form, extra copies are available in the main office and will be
available at the first PTO meeting on September 24th at 9:00 a.m. or
at Open House on September 25th at 6:00 p.m. The deadline for
inclusion is October 5,2007.
(ASB)
BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS - VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Volunteers are needed to serve on this committee. Our Breakfast of
Champions will be held February 8 and again May 22. Although the
first Breakfast is months away, it is important for us to get
together now to begin our planning. We don't meet a lot during the
year, however, we will meet at the end of September. If you are
interested, contact Ellen Dillard,
ebd57@comcast.net or 724-733-4512.
(Ellen Dillard)
