This week is national volunteer week. Here in FRSD we have a wide range of outstanding volunteers that support staff and students. From PTA's to Booster Clubs, Smart Readers to field trip and classroom volunteers, the list is long! Please know that all the staff and students of FRSD are thankful for the time our volunteers give. I asked our principals to share a few volunteer names with me, to recognize this AM, and those are listed below. This is just a very small sample of the hundreds of volunteers that give time in our schools each year: EES: Thank you to Kelsey Kelley, Kelsey volunteers in classrooms and brought back the SMART reading program that currently serves multiple grade levels! VES: Thank you to all of the folks that volunteer with PALS! FRMS: Thanks you to Brianna Carney, Darci Norton, Stephanie Alberts and Brittney Ota for helping with leadership activities this year. Also thank you to Mrs. Maya Trout for her help with band/music! EHS: Thank you to Rebecca Lorenz who volunteers with athletics as well as outdoor school (just to name a couple areas)! and Tressa miller who assists with CPR training in our health classes, providing medical support at home football games, and attends weekly KEY club meetings.
