Friday Update

Happy Friday Foster's Finest,

I have just attended the 5th Grade Concert and my immediate reaction is AMAZING! The band, chorus, and orchestra combining to perform a song together was the high point of the show. That has not been accomplished in fifteen years. They should all be so proud of the hard work and effort that they have put in this year. For students who have not been playing the instruments for very long to perform at such a level is a testament to the work they have put in as well as the dedication of the staff who have taught them. It was a very enjoyable evening.

These next few weeks are going to be filled with many activities and field trips. Parents, if you do not have a CORI check completed, you cannot volunteer to help. Please make sure if you have signed up for volunteering, you have stopped by the front office to complete the form.

Field Day is next week and we are having it at the recreation department. We have sent home permission slips and have been collecting them. There are still a few that have not been returned. We cannot bring your child to the recreation department without a signed permission slip. It is going to be a fun filled day for our students and we do not want to see tears if we have to keep a student behind.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Mr. Scheufele

Hey Everybody! We’re having our 21st annual, Staff vs. 5th Grade Kickball game on Monday, June 5th. Mrs. Katnani’s class will be representing the 5th grade. It will run from approximately 2:45-4:15. Come on out to the new playground and root on your teachers or fellow students! This is an after-school event, so adult supervision is a must. Hope to see everyone on the 5th!

Foster School is Looking for 2 School Council Representatives for the 2023-2024 School Year:

One of the responsibilities of the PTO is run elections for open School Council positions. This year, we will be looking for 2 members.

The School Council is chaired by the principal but includes a variety of stakeholders: parents, students, faculty and staff members, and at-large community representatives. It is charged with developing the annual School Improvement Goals and working on the implementation of those goals. The council serves in an advisory capacity to the principal.

Anyone who is interested in one of these positions, please call or email sadler.melissa@icloud.com / 508-380-1536 by June 9th. The council meets 6-8 times during the school year.

This is a great opportunity for a parent/guardian to get involved at Foster that doesn’t require a major time commitment.

Wednesday 6/7, 6pm @ Local 02045 in Hull.
