A NOTE FROM YOUR HSC BOARD:
Hello Fabulous Farnham Families.
It's not too late to purchase your tickets for our Gatsby-themed Night on the Town happening this Saturday, March 22, from 5-8pm at Number 1 Broadway in Los Gatos. We are looking forward to spending time with the adults who support our Farnham community for a fun-filled evening our hard working committee put together with dinner, music, raffles and an incredible auction!
Have some time you can spare on a Tuesday from 11:25am-1pm? We are looking for volunteers to help with our Track Pack and support all the kids that are trying to hit their goals. Sign up here.
We are continuing to bring the Walk and Roll program to Farnham and will have our next Walk to School day on Wednesday, March 26. Meet us at Houge Park by 7:50am to join in the group walk to school with your friends and the Farnham community.
Your students should have brought home their 2025 Walkathon Sponsorship envelopes and we picked our winning logo as we get ready to "Just Keep Walking." The Walkathon is one of our largest fundraisers of the year and helps us support everything from field trips to school supplies to Starting Arts! We encourage everyone to try and collect donations and we will continue providing updates here in the Flash and on the website here.
If you have any questions or comments please reach out to us at hscfarnham@gmail.com.
