Don’t You Just Love a Parade?
|
|
Several seconds later, we all ended up in the picnic area for a nice gathering of students, families and teachers… and Broom Beth proved to be a nice witch when she brought out the goodie pumpkin!
|
|
Some were scary, some adorable but all were in full Halloween mode at today’s 1st annual FASTB Halloween Parade! Pauline the Pirate and Purple Priscilla the Bunny led the young ones along the grueling 155-foot parade route, followed by Broom Beth and Skeletal Claire with the Elementary group.

And when all was done, Pauline the Pirate took her ship and went home…

FASTB Chosen For Prestigious Medal Ceremony

We are very humbled and honored to announce that FASTB has been selected by French Consul General Clément Leclerc, on behalf of French President Emmanuel Macron, to host a ceremony in which two United States World War II veterans will be awarded the Légion d’honneur, the highest French order of merit for military and civil conduct – an honor established by Napoleon in 1802.
We will have further details about the specifics of the event soon, but please save November 29th at 2:30pm on you calendars and help us join the French government in paying tribute to these two heroes.

Our Suzuki music instructor, Jennifer Diedrich, is ready to begin lessons so we encourage you to contact her directly to begin the process of choosing an instrument, billing etc. so we can get started. Again, you will pay Jennifer directly for the lessons, which will take place during school hours in our music room.
At left is a PDF that provides an overview of the Suzuki method and Jennifer’s contact information is at the bottom of the document. We’re looking forward to your children filling the air with beautiful music – Merci!
