Congratulations to the following students for participation: Molly Z., Elizabeth R., Kemi O., Madhav P., Smrithi K., Aarna M., Darshan B., Demi A., Aaron G., Jonathan B., Ezekiel B., Holly L., Ian H., Lucas T., and Jonathan M.,
Did you know that this year we had our first full day Field Day and what a huge success it was? Thanks to Mr. Cassard and Mrs. Goodwin for their hard work in planning this fun day. The weather started out a bit wet but by 10:00 the sun came out and the remainder of the day was perfect. Thanks to the following parents for volunteering their time during Field Day: Robert O’Connell, Ronald Kelsey, Meara Hartzer, Sirina Sucklal, Courtney Murphy, Katherine Woodward, Emily Gajan, Korin Sharp, Cheryl Ewing, Amanda Brown, Kisme Williams, Jennifer Kovaleski, Alfred Tabili, Amanda Fields, Jennifer Peters, Justin Peters, Jennifer Renkevens, Klaudia Bastin, Sana Ali, Catherine Ugo, Holly Hanfman, Caitlin Gregg, and Penny Keller. Also thanks to our teachers who gave up their planning time to be with their students during this full day of activities.
Did you know that our 2019 Enrichment Fair is this Thursday at 6:30? We hope you are planning to attend and see how hard our students have worked this year with their display of projects!
Enjoy your weekend!
Ms. Pazornik
Enrichment Fair
The Enrichment Fair is scheduled for May 23rd from 6:30-8:00. This evening gives us the opportunity to celebrate the excellence of ALL of our students at FRES. This exciting evening will provide you with the chance to see some of the great work that your child produced this year. You can stop by any time, 6:30-8:00. We encourage those who live close to walk, to save parking spaces for those who need to drive. We hope to see you there!
Effective Saturday, June 15, 2019, Howard County’s Department of Public Works’ Bureau of Environmental Services will no longer accept curbside recycling placed out in plastic bags. Items placed out for recycling, should be placed loose in the county assigned recycling bin/cart. Any plastic bagged recyclables will not be collected curbside.
County residents will be receiving a postcard in the mail alerting them of this change.
Plastic bags and plastic film foul machinery, getting wrapped around recycling equipment and jamming the screens. Small plastic fragments also become air- and water-borne litter. Due to these factors, our contracted processor is no longer accepting recycling in plastic bags. The regional marketplace has contributed to this change.
In addition, the Alpha Ridge Landfill Residents' Convenience Center will no longer accept items for recycling bagged in plastic. If you choose to transport your items in a plastic bag, please empty your items into the recycling compactor and take the bag with you.
County residents who wish to recycle their clean plastic bags and film may do so at participating local grocery stores, big box stores and other retailers who have collection bins set up, normally inside the store’s front entrance.
Watch DOGS
Our Watch DOGS dads this week were Mr. Ball, Mr. Houston, Mr. Loveless, and Mr. McDonald. Thank you so much!
