Dear parents,

 

I hope everyone is ready for the first day of school!  This will be the first in a series of monthly emails to keep you informed of parent activities for EFAC.

 

A few items and reminders for the month of September:

 

Volunteer Activities:

 

CineClub:  Starting in October, Cineclub offers a free monthly screening of a French movie (with English subtitles).  The event is open to both EFAC and Lincoln students grades 5-8.  We currently looking for volunteers for Cineclub.  We need 1 parent to purchase the snacks that are sold during the movie.  We need at least 2 parents to assist with audio-visual needs, crowd control and monitoring students during and after the film until they are dismissed.  Please email Stephanie Jensen  if you would like to volunteer.  This is a commitment of only 8 days (from 3:50pm – 5:30 pm) during the school year.
