	*HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP, HELP!!!!*

	The Family Spring Carnival is rapidly approaching (Saturday, April 1, 2006). We don’t have the necessary support we had at this time last year. We desperately need support from both parents and teachers!!! Volunteers are needed to donate time at the carnival but also raffle baskets/items and cakes are needed. Understanding how busy life is we ask that everyone help a little bit in some way to make sure the kids have a great time at the carnival.

	Thank you!! The Carnival Committee

	P.S. If you don’t have the needed form to reply, please go to the Downloadable Forms page of the FW PTO website. Go to www.Burlington.MEC.edu/fw then click on the PTO Home Page link.

Free Domino's Pizza Contest Extended!

Due to the generosity of Domino's we received more vouchers for Free Medium Cheese Pizzas!!!

The contest has been extended to Wednesday, March 29. Go to the end of the Frankly Francis Wyman Newsletter that came home in the backpacks and tear off the entry form … fill it out … answer the question and put it in the collection box in the main lobby. The answer is in the newsletter!!!

The School Committee will be hearing all concerns and making final decisions on the 2006/2007 school budget to present to Town Meeting for funding approval. We need parents to call School Committee Members and attend the meeting on Tuesday, March 28 at 7:30p in the School Committee Room at BHS.

There is no room in the FW budget to add the NEEDED fifth 5^th grade class!!! The empty classroom is waiting and this class was promised three years ago when a retired teacher position was not filled but would be when this year's 4^th grade class reached 5^th grade. This will effect future grades to follow.

If you can't attend the meeting, please call to express your concern with class sizes possibly reaching 25!! All adult household memebers are urged to call. Let your opinion be heard. We as parents and an organization need to advocate for the best possible education for our children!!!
