FALA follows the FUSD decision to cancel or delay school. FALA will also post this info on our Facebook page and School website.
Important Dates:

April 24th, 2019 - This is no longer a Snow Day Make Up Day.
The Season of Giving Begins November 27th!
FALA is now officially part of the #GivingTuesday movement!

As a counterpoint to Black Friday and CyberMonday,#GivingTuesday offers a chance to rally support for your favorite nonprofit organizations during the holiday season. 

This year’s big day of giving is Tuesday, November 27 , when we ask our friends and families to participate in a special fundraising campaign that will enable FALA to continue to provide the youth of Flagstaff with a unique, transformative educational experience.

Simply help us spread the word about our institution and #GivingTuesday via your favorite social media platform. Tell people why you’re thankful for FALA and how they can help us grow by giving via the new #GivingTuesday link on our homepage, https://flagarts.com/giving-tuesday-donation-form/
.

Founded in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y, #GivingTuesday inspires millions to give back and support the causes they believe in. Over $300 million has been raised online to benefit a broad range of organizations.

For more details about the #GivingTuesday movement, visit the #GivingTuesday website ( GivingTuesday.org ), Facebook page ( Facebook.com/GivingTuesday ) or follow @GivingTues and the #GivingTuesday hashtag on Twitter.

9th Grade SHARE
The 9th grade course of study at FALA includes twelve classes of the S.H.A.R.E. (Sexual Health and Relationship Education) curriculum.  The goal of the curriculum is to prepare students to understand their bodies and make informed, responsible decisions that will help ensure their health. To accomplish this goal, a medically accurate and asset-based approach to sexuality is presented.  These classes will build upon the 7thgrade curriculum and are taught by Rachel Billowitz, MPH, from North Country HealthCare. We have found this curriculum to be valuable to our students. Gessica Neilson is providing permission slips to parents via email. Additionally, a paper copy will be provided to students. Permission slips will be provided the week of November 12th, and are due by December 14th.

You are invited to attend a program for parents and guardians on Wed. Dec. 5, 2018 from 5:30-7:00 pm at FALA, in Room 10. Rachel will first provide an overview of the curriculum. She will then offer an interactive workshop on “Talking with Your Teens about Sexuality.” Please RSVP to Gessica Neilson if you plan on attending. You may still attend even if you didn't RSVP.
