So we have a couple things that we can do during spring break to get out of the house.  If you're in town have you and your student join us.

• Monday March 12th.  Pokemon Go Raiding Party 9a-1p.  For those of us who play Pokemon Go, we'll travel around town raiding some Pokemon Gyms and Legendary Pokemon.  Save up your coins cause you're going to need to purchase some extra raid passes.
• Tuesday March 13th.  Lunch and a Movie.  We are going to see a $6 film and lunch at Panda Express.  We will meet at the church at 11:30a, go purchase our tickets, and then go eat at Bamboo Express.  Finally we'll see the movie at 1:30p.
• Wednesday March 14th. Bridge of Hope Hot Meal Service Project.  8:30a-2:00p  See below for more information on that.
• Thursday March 15th.  We are playing Disc Golf at Reed Canal Park from 10a to 2p. We will supply some discs for you to play with.  It will be a great time for the beginner or the expert. Bring a bottle of water and maybe a snack.

We have an opportunity to once again earn hours towards more Disney tickets for the upcoming silent auction fundraiser.  On March 14th, students have the opportunity to serve those who are hungry and homeless at the Bridge of Hope Hot Meal Program.   If your students is interested in working this project, you can sign up but clicking on the link below. The project will go from 8:30a-1:30p.

So our 6th Annual Fish Fry is coming up on Friday March 23rd.  As many of you know, this event is a ALL HANDS ON DECK EVENT.  We need to make sure that we we get all the help we can get.  We need stay at home parents to come on Thursday morning to make cole slaw. We need mom's and dad's to work outside on the fryers.  AND not to mention that we need MORE propane and stands.  The event will be from 5:30p-9p.  (But I promise that the guest will begin coming before that.) We will be assigning students to positions the next following weeks. I know I took many names of parents who would be there to help but if you haven't signed up, let Tony know today. Tell people that they can make a reservation today at firstchurchpo.org. (We are not putting out promo cards this year.)

It's time to register for the 2018 Summer Camp.  Our parents have voted to attend the week of June 18th through the 24th, (AKA Week 2).  There is a $75 Online Registration Fee which comes off the cost of your students camp when you register online.  They receive graduating 3rd graders through graduating 12th graders.  You can also apply for a camp scholarship through April 1st at the link previously mentioned.  Register for camp with the button below.

Family Retreat 2018

We're excited to announce that the Spring Family Retreat is coming BACK!  We will be hanging out again at the Deerhaven Conference Center just outside of Deland.  The cost will once again be based on your desired accommodations. The retreat is from April 13-15th.  There will be brochures in your bulletin this coming Sunday morning.  You can also check it out at    firstchurchpo.org. 50% Deposit was past due on March 4th.  Final payments are due April 8th.  Also, this year no family will be asked to spend more than $100 a night which is a huge help to some of our larger families. Join us and get your deposits in today!
