Our first Movie Night on Friday, Oct. 12th at 7:00 p.m. We’ll be showing Hotel Transylvania 3, The monster family embark on a vacation on a luxury monster cruise ship so Drac can take a summer vacation from providing everyone else’s vacation at the hotel, and they indulge in all of the shipboard fun the cruise has to offer. This is a FREE event and no sign up is required!
Mark your calendars for the 6th annual FRES Halloween Dance Saturday, Oct. 13 from 7 p.m. – 9 p.m. This is a memorable event that our FRES students (and parents too) love and anticipate every year. Tickets will cost $3 and are available now until Monday, Oct. 8. This event is for FRES students and their parents only. All tickets must be ordered in advance. We are not able to accept walkins.
Do you enjoy dressing up in a Halloween costume? Put on your costume, and come join us. It’s encouraged! We need volunteers a skeleton, coffin corpse and other characters.

Let’s all gather at Red Hot & Blue on Tuesday, the 23rd from 4:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. This is our first Spirit night at a restaurant this year. Join other FRES families for a night of local, delicious BBQ, a great salad or an onion loaf—just to name a few of the menu items. Let’s fill up RH&B, and be sure to mention you are with FRES!
Our final event of the month is skate night on Friday, Oct. 26th at Laurel Skate Center on Rt. 1 and Brewers Court. Skate from 7:00 p.m.- 10:00 p.m. for $9, which includes skates. Say you’re with FRES to get the special price. While this is not meant to be a fundraiser, part of the evening’s proceeds do go back to FRES PTA. Come on out with other FRES friends for an evening of exercise and FUN! All participants who use the FRES special price must sign a waiver at the door.
Have a great weekend!

FRES participates in Harris Teeter’s Together in Education program to help raise funds for our school. It’s easy and it’s FREE. Simply give the cashier our code, 7900, and your VIC card when you check out, and your card will be linked for the entire school year. That’s it! You only have to link your VIC card once each school year. Once your card is linked, FRES will receive percentage of your Harris Teeter brand (Harris Teeter, H.T. Traders, Harris Teeter Organics, HT Farmers Market, and purchases in the HT Pharmacy) purchases credited back to our account. This program does not interfere with your VIC savings or cost you any money! Please link your VIC card to our account code next time you are shopping at Harris Teeter if you haven't already done so this school year! Thank you for your support.
