FRHS E-News
December 5, 2007
Lots of news today! Don't forget to watch the morning announcements as well
as read the notices posted on the website. It seems to me there are always
one or more items mentioned on the broadcast that don't have a corresponding
notice. Plus I no longer repeat all of the announcements in the e-news so
the website is your best resource for the daily happenings at the school.

MURRYSVILLE
COMMUNITY LIBRARY
As some of you may
know from reading the articles in the local newspapers the library is
converting to a new operating system. During the transition some
restrictions will have to be in place until the new system is fully
installed.
Attention students:
From December 10-18 anyone wishing to check
out materials from the library MUST have their library card. No NEW
library cards will be issued during this time. So if you know you have
a research project or paper coming that will require you to use the
community library resources please be sure to remember to bring your
library card and if you don't have a card be sure to get one before the
10th.

SOPHOMORE CLASS TRIP
The sophomore
class is planning a class trip to Seven Springs for snow tubing. The
trip will take place on Friday, February 8th with a
back-up date of February 22nd in case of inclement weather. The
tickets for the trip will be $17 per student. The cost includes
admission for the snow tubing and transportation to and from Seven
Springs. The cost of dinner or snacks is not included in the trip
cost and will be the responsibility of each student.
Students will meet
at 4 PM in front of the school. Buses will leave promptly at 4:10
PM. The plan is to be at Seven Springs for the 6-8 PM snow tubing
session. Students will be expected to meet at the designated area at
Seven Springs 10 minutes prior to departure. All students must make
arrangements for transportation home from the high school. Unless
notified by their child that things are running behind schedule,
parents should plan to be at the high school to pick up students at
10 PM.
Due to the need
for confirming reservations and transportation, payments and
permissions slips are due by December 13th. Checks
should be made out to Class of 2010 and placed in an envelope with
the student's name clearly written on the front of the envelope.
Students must include a signed permission slip and Seven Springs
release with their check for the trip in the envelope. There is a
collection box in the main office for envelopes. No checks will
be accepted after December 14th.

PARENT VOLUNTEERS
NEEDED TO HELP WITH TELETHON
Ms. Pursglove (one of the organizers for the telethon) is
looking for parent volunteers on December 21st during the
school day. She needs 4 to 6 parents from 9 to 11 AM and 4
to 6 more volunteers from 11 AM to 1 PM. Volunteers are
needed mainly to help with crowd control by directing
audience and participants to their appropriate
locations. This is great way to support the kids, performers
and organizers alike and to get into the holiday spirit.
If you are interesting in helping during either or both
shifts please email Penny Holden (holden3@comcast.net)
as soon as possible.
TENTS NEEDED ON
DECEMBER 20TH FOR TELETHON
The telethon is scheduled to be outdoors for one night this
year - December 20th. The organizers are in need of a few
big tents to cover and protect the Chinese Auction display.
If any booster group, club or individual has a tent that
they would be willing to lend to this worthy cause please
contact Mrs. Magness at
bmagness@franklinregional.k12.pa.us.
