Dear Parents, 

As the season begins to change and we welcome November, we’ve had some great celebrations here at FACS. From fun Halloween & Packer dress down days, to a wonderful All Saints Day Mass & All Souls Day gatherings, it’s been great seeing the school community come together in celebration. 

Speaking of community and celebration, it’s finally auction week. Give Back to the Future – A Totally 80’s Fundraising Flashback is set for this Saturday, November 11 from 5-11pm at the Resurrection Campus gymnasium. The dedicated team planning the event has been working hard, and I’m excited to see everything come to fruition in support of our school community this weekend. 

This event is our school’s largest fundraiser and is crucial to raising the funds that directly benefit our school and students’ success. Not only is it important to raising funds for the school but it’s also a unique way to build and strengthen our school community, something that makes FACS so special. This night brings together parents, teachers, staff, parishioners and so many community stakeholders all to support our students and school community. 

With that, here are some important reminders as we approach Give Back to the Future:

·        Purchase your tickets at: https://FACSGiveBack.givesmart.com

·        Get your students excited about the auction with a special 80’s dress down day Friday, November 10. Students are invited to wear their best 80’s themed attire in support of the fundraiser, and our school.

·        Stop by the Resurrection gymnasium for a special preview day on Friday, November 10 from 3:15-5pm. Parents are invited to bring their kids for a fun way for them to see what the community came together to do in support of them and check out what’s up for bid.

·        Bid high, and tip often! Every dollar spent at the auction benefits FACS and the incredible work that happens each and every day at our school. 

I’m really excited for this friend and fund raiser, and can’t wait to see you there! 

Growing in GRACE,

Kay Franz
