The FSEEF board of directors was very busy at its April meeting. Congratulations to the following…Simpson Elementary $6,500 for iPads, FSHS Band $4,700 for new sousaphone, Lincoln Elementary $250 for summer art camp, FSHS agriculture department $400 for insect identification set, FSMS $400 for document camera, FSHS chorus program $1,000 for musical expenses.
 
The F-S Band continues to grow, which brought forth the need for a new instrument.  These are very expensive.  Now with the help of the FSEEF, we will be able to provide an instrument to another student!

-The Spring concert is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, May 8th and the Band Banquet for Thursday, May 10th (but Mr. Ragland will have to confirm location availability).

-SENIORS:  Please start bringing copies of photos to Anna Scates (for senior boards)

-Concert Band Festival is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, April 12th (Middle School) and Friday, April 13th (High School).  This will be held at WKU, probably during school hours.
