State Winner!



Vaibhav Mohanty has won first place in the middle school musical competition category of the state PTA Reflections contest.  His original composition will now be entered in the national competition, with winners announced in May.  This first place musical composition award is a first for FoJo, too.  Way to go, Vaibhav! 

Attention FoJo Families

In the coming weeks, we will be working on a fund-raising project called Kids for Wish Kids®.  This project is designed to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of South Carolina.  The Make-A-Wish Foundation® is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy.  Here at Fort Johnson, we have adopted a local five year old girl with Leukemia whose wish is to visit Disney World.         
Please help us with the Kids for Wish Kids Program® by showing support for our upcoming fundraiser.  The schedule of fundraising events is as follows:
 
  • March 8 – 12: “Star Wars” and FoJo Share-The-Power Bracelets: Stars will be sold for $.25 each during lunch and strung in each grade wing for a star wars competition.  Blue bracelets will also be sold during lunch for $1.00 each.
  • March 22 – 26: Baked goods week:  Baked goodies will be sold during lunches
  • April 12 – 16: Coin Drives: FoJo will join schools across South Carolina to collect coins to contribute to our adopted child’s wish.
 
Top home room contributors will earn great prizes, including pizza parties and a possible party at an upcoming Riverdogs Game!  If you have any questions, or would like to make a tax deductible donation, please contact me at 762-5541 or Erica_ciucci@ccsdschools.com.


Volunteers Needed!
We need parent volunteers to serve as monitors during the state PASS writing test administration Tuesday, March 16, and Wednesday, March 17, from 8:45 until 11:30 a.m.  If you can help, please contact our PTA volunteer coordinator, Gail Gilbert, at topher29412@bellsouth.net
