FSA's International Cultural Cafe Message from MSO:
FSA’s annual International Cultural Cafe is right around the corner!
We take pride in the cultural diversity represented in our school, and our International Cultural Cafe is a great way to share and celebrate our various cultural traditions. Please read carefully because we need your help to make it possible!
The event this year will be slightly different, and we are recruiting families to contribute in various ways. Whether you would like to represent your country of origin, or share what you’ve learned about other places while traveling abroad, we would be honored if you would share your experiences and insight with the FSA family. The opportunities to contribute include:
1. Manage a booth - This includes selecting a country or a region of a country to educate our families on. You will be provided with table and a tri fold poster board to create a display showcasing your country’s heritage including relevant art, photos, traditional dress/costume, music, dance, food, souvenirs, games, etc. If more than one family volunteers to represent the same country, those families will collaborate to manage the booth. Any family managing a booth has an opportunity to be in the Parade of Nations. Details will follow once signed up.
2. Bring food and/or drink items indicative to a specific country - If you aren’t up for managing a booth but are a good cook and want to share your culinary talents, please let us know what items you would like to contribute for our food sampling.
3. Perform a talent representative of a country - Performances can be by our students, parents and/or others in the community. Examples include Irish or Indian dance, West African drumming, Capoeira, Salsa dance, singing, etc. Please note performances should be 3-5 minutes long.
4. If none of the above appeal to you but you would like to help at the event, please sign up to serve as a general event volunteer. We need help with set up and clean up, manning the passport and immigration booths, coordinating talent, and more. Anyone who is interested participating in any way, please complete the google form below and we will reach out to you with additional details.

StudyIsland ROCKS
If you are looking for reinforcement of skills we are learning in class or extra practice for your first grade student - please consider using Study Island resource at home this year. This is a great resource we will be using this year where students can practice Math and Reading/Language Arts skills at home. This will help your child feel more confident during our MAP assessments this year. It is designed to help them practice the areas they are having difficulty with. Your child's username and password is the same as your FSA Connect login. If you need this information, please send me an email.
