FRHS E-NEWS Friday July 25, 2008 Welcome to FRHS E-news… the “unofficial” newsletter distributed independently by the members of the PTO. This newsletter is provided as a service to the senior high parents and other community members who want to stay informed about general information about the school. As an ad hoc newsletter, we cannot always guarantee the accuracy of the newsletter, but we try to verify the information and provide useful and timely school news and other interesting community info throughout the year. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome. To contact me please send email to FRHSnews@comcast.net. Thank you! Darlene H. Skupien . Mail list note: **Important note** for some reason, some names on the list are being replicated twice on different lists. Please bear with me as I try to solve the problem. Until then, some of you may receive more than one issue. When you do email me with duplicate notices, please provide me with your full name – first, last and any email addresses you might be using so I can track you through the 850 names I have on my list to correct/change your email request. Thank you.
