Volunteers Needed!
FALA High School Students who are artsy/craftsy are invited to participate in a special service project for the Children's Health Center (CHC) at Flagstaff Medical Center (FMC).

We are assisting in creating an Coco themed installation for the children on Halloween. These kiddos can not go out and trick or treat on Halloween in their neighborhood due to their illness. So the team at CHC want to create the most special Halloween at the hospital for them.  You can make decorations every or any Tuesday/Thursday 3:15-5:00pm in art room #5 .

We will start on Tuesday October 2nd and end on October 30th . Students will get service hours.

FAFSA Night
FAFSA NIGHT

Hello Seniors! Please come to FAFSA Night and if any way possible, please bring a parent. If you cannot attend, but your parent can, that's fine too.

FAFSA Night for Seniors and Parents: Wednesday, October 17th, 6:00 PM, @ FALA Room 16.

If you have a laptop, please bring it, however we will have computers available.

Every senior should complete the FAFSA, even if you do not think your family will qualify for financial aid. Federal Student Aid is responsible for managing the student financial assistance programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 . These programs provide grants, loans, and work-study funds to students attending college or career school. Filling out the FAFSA is also recommended for students who plan on taking a gap year.

Please go to the FALA School Counseling Website "College Events" to see the list of documents you should bring to FAFSA Night.
Campus Planting Event!
Saturday, October 6
9:00 am to Noon

Fall is the perfect time to plant! Join us for another FALA Campus Beautification Event and help with planting many donated native plants. Botanist, Christi Sorrell, will be helping us put the plants in the best spots to ensure their survival and appeal. We will also be putting weed blankets and mulch around some of the pruned trees. This continues our work on FALA's landscaping plan that has been formulated utilizing community input from several botanists.

Please sign up below if you can bring any items we can use during our event
....and (of course) bring gloves, hats, sunscreen, and water bottles.

Parents, come to meet other FALA families who are interested in supporting the FALA community. Students, this is a great way to earn service hours and show your school spirit!
