announcement from Mrs. Koury)
ALUMNI TENT TO BE
SET UP AT HOMECOMING FOOTBALL GAME
The National Honor Society will sponsor, for the first time, a
special tent for Alumni at the Homecoming football game on Friday,
October 12. The tent will be set up close to the end zone nearest
to the high school.
In the past returning students often end up walking around the
looking for friends. This year the NHS tent will give returning
alumni a place to meet, catch up on news and have refreshments. NHS
members will be manning the tent. The tent will be open from 7 pm
through halftime.
(Joan Mellon)
HOMECOMING BONFIRE THIS
THURSDAY
It is that time of year again! The homecoming bonfire will be this
Thursday, October 11th at 6:30 p.m. on the practice
field next to the high school.
Everyone is gearing up for the bonfire this week. I encourage you to
go and enjoy the evening. The community is invited and it is a
family friendly event. Performances by the band and cheerleaders
start off the night. The local volunteer fire department will then
light the bonfire structure, expertly constructed by members of this
year's senior class. There have been a few years when I found the
wooden sculpture was so intriguing I thought it was a shame to set
it afire.
Many of the booster organizations, clubs and classes will be
sponsoring booths. The bonfire is the first major fundraiser of the
year for some and for others it is their only fundraiser. I can't
wait to see the assortment of tasty treats and products that will be
offered this year. In years past I found there was no need to make
dinner. There were plenty of goodies to create a complete meal;
appetizers, main course and desserts! In addition to good things to
eat and drink there are fun things to do and music provided by a DJ.
Last year taking turns smashing a car was a big hit and the dunking
booth always proves to be a crowd drawing attraction. And of course
there will be plenty of FR proud items to purchase. For those of you
who can't get there at the start of things, the festivities usually
last until 9:00 PM or so. So come on out and join the fun!

SENIOR ADS FOR THE YEARBOOK
Each year the yearbook staff offers parents of seniors the
opportunity to purchase a graduate ad for their son/daughter. The
ads are displayed in the back of the yearbook. The ads include a
small write-up and a baby picture.
Order forms were mailed to parents earlier this year. An ad costs
$40. Checks should be made out to "The Quill" The deadline for
placing an ad is Friday, October 19, 2007.

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.
