Updates:

• SAFETY CONCERN
• Please make sure to abide by our crossing guards signs and rules.  We have had several cars run through the intersection while the crossing guard is out in the street, putting our students and staff in harms way.  If you are turning right you still need to wait until everyone is out of the cross walk.  We have had several parents texting when they are driving, causing last minute emergency stops.   Our local law enforcement checks in daily and will be following up.  Please help us keep our students and staff safe. 
• Conference Night Dinner sign up for Staff
• Thanksgiving Lunch
• On November 16th during your child's lunch a thanksgiving themed lunch will be served.   The charge for the meal is 4 dollars, enrolled students will use their lunch accounts, adults and non-school aged children will need to pay for the meal if they are eating with the student.  Please sign up on the following link by Wednesday, November 9th (Please click here to register/pay)  if you will be eating.

• Veterans Day
  This year we will be celebrating Veterans Day on Friday, November 11 during our weekly Friday afternoon assembly. As a special way to honor our veterans, the student council would like to create a slideshow of veterans related to FSE students. You may send photos electronically to Radford or send in a copy by November 9. Please label the photo with the veteran’s name, branch of service, and years of service. If you sent in pictures last year, your family's photos will be included in the slideshow automatically (unless you notify Radford otherwise).
