Volunteer Opportunities For 2008-2009

Dear FRA Parents:

We are ready for a fabulous year. We look forward to seeing you and your children as the 2008-2009 year begins.

Franklin Road Academy is a school for families. We invite every parent to “share their time and talents” by volunteering. We need your help! Our school enjoys a rich tradition of tremendous parental support and involvement. You have many opportunities to become involved at FRA.

Getting involved provides you with the opportunity to get to know other families, have fun, and share in your child's educational experience. We look forward to hearing from you soon. The investment of your time and support will result in a lifetime of benefits for your children!

Sincerely,

Valerie and Emily
