• WISH WEEK: Student Council is excited to announce that FSE will be participating in the DCHS 2017 Wish Week! Wish Week is a community wide fundraiser where the Douglas County community partners with the Make-a-Wish foundation to grant the wish of a child with a terminal illness. This year Flagstone will be helping Douglas County High School to sponsor a 13 year-old boy named Cory.  His wish is to go to Disney World!   As a Douglas County Feeder, we are striving to pass our goal of $40,000 with the help of Castle Rock businesses and other DCHS feeder schools.
• Throughout the week Student Council has planned different spirit days to help Cory get to Disney World!  
• Monday, January 23rd- Penny Wars! Classes are encouraged to bring in their loose change/coins.  
• Tuesday- Everyone wear red!  Red is Cory’s favorite color! From 3:00-3:30 DCHS students will lead an assembly for students. Penny Wars continues!
• Wednesday- Students are encouraged to donate a dollar to wear a hat all day. Penny Wars continues!
• Thursday- Students are encouraged to wear basketball/football shirts (Cory’s favorite teams are the Broncos and the Lakers). Penny Wars continues!
• Friday- Disney World Day! Students are encouraged to dress as their favorite Disney character or wear Disney attire. Last day for Penny Wars!

Enrichment

• LEGO Club--Flier Here

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have had a successful return to the second half of the school year.  The weather has certainly made that return challenging!

A flier went out today to Flagstone families announcing the return of LEGO Robotics Club for Jan/Feb.  We will be signing up young LEGO Engineers next week, Thursday, Jan 19th, right after school while launching our return to club meeting with the kids.  For all you who were in first semester robotics, your children have first priority for a spot to attend Flagstone LEGO Robotics Club.  If you have friends who are interested in the lcub for their children, be sure to send them this email and tell them to send us a note.

Because you have already filled out the paper work, to hold a spot in the LEGO Robotics Club for the next 6 week session, please respond to this email by Tuesday, Jan 17th, and plan to bring your club fee of $75 to the first meeting next Thursday, Jan 19th.  As before, checks will be made out to Robotics. how.  

We will sign your child up and plan for them to attend the first session next Thursday, a dynamite kick off for the kids!

Have an awesome weekend and we look forward to hearing from you.
