Questions can be sent to Jenn Wead, FHS PTSA Membership Chairperson at [email protected] WHY JOIN THE PTSA?
“Is the PTSA really relevant? Don’t you guys just run bake sales and sell magazines?”
Not only are we relevant, sometimes the PTSA is the difference that takes Folsom High from a good school to a great school.
It’s no secret that for years now, we have lacked adequate funding to provide some of the educational experiences our children deserve. What you may not know is that, with the generous support of parents and staff, the PTSA has been making a difference by sponsoring and funding programs that impact EVERY child in this school, throughout their entire high school experience.
Each and every one of your children - from a freshman to a senior – continues to benefit from PTSA programs. We sponsor programs starting with the Freshman Kickoff – a unique program designed to ease that difficult transition to High School - all the way up to Sober Grad Night, the final, memorable evening of your child’s high school experience. With limited counseling resources available at FHS, the PTSA has stepped in to offer SAT and ACT practice tests throughout the year as well as High School Transition and College Planning evenings for parents.
The PTSA is making a difference in the classroom too. From textbooks to Lab equipment, from the clubs your student joins to the crackers they get from the nurse’s office on that day they just didn’t feel well, the PTSA is there to help.
So, become a member. The $10 membership fee is one of our key sources of funding AND you will automatically be on our mailing list to receive relevant information and updates.
Volunteer – we always need help. There are opportunities from a couple of hours chaperoning a school dance or helping with Spirit Wear to major involvement as a Board member.
Support our fundraisers, including our Fall Buck$ for Bulldogs and our Spring eBash Online Auction. Take the time to attend our programs.
Your student’s education will be better for it.

WHO: All students 12 to 25 years old enrolled in the Folsom Cordova Unified School District. Students enrolled in San Juan and Twin Rivers Unified School Districts have also been invited.
WHY: It is estimated 1 in 500 school-aged children suffer an undiagnosed heart defect, which can lead to sudden cardiac arrest and death. A typical annual physical does not screen for advanced heart abnormalities. This does not take the place of your annual or pre-participation sports physical.
WHAT: Screenings take 60-90 minutes (wait times may vary) and include a health history questionnaire review, an EKG test, and if warranted, an echocardiogram. The entire process is non-invasive—no needles or x-ray exposure—and we ensure each teen’s confidentiality, privacy and individual modesty is respected throughout all aspects of the screening.
HOW: Your child must be registered in advance. Please bring their completed Health History Form and student ID card to the event. Please register and access forms at viaheartproject.org/screenings/ . Registration opens August 1, 2016 to noon on September 16th, 2016. Registration is limited to 750 students.
WHEN: Sunday, September 18th, 2016, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
WHERE: Cordova High School, 2239 Chase Drive, Rancho Cordova, CA 95670
COST: Our screenings are offered free of charge thanks to our sponsor. Consider paying it forward to allow us to keep saving young lives. Just $25 helps us screen another teen. Donations may be made at the screening or during the online registration process.

This is your PERSONAL invitation to the LINK CREW ORIENTATION 2016
Dear Parents and Members of the Class of 2020: We are proud to announce that Folsom High School will be offering LINK CREW as a freshman transition experience again. With the support of Folsom High School and our School District, we are offering this opportunity for all incoming freshman. We believe it is without question that any freshman participant will have a head start as they enter Folsom High School. Our research indicates that participants in these types of programs have earned higher grade point averages, been more likely to be involved in extracurricular opportunities, and have had fewer disciplinary situations than students who have not participated. There is no doubt that the experience will be informative and fun. We urge all incoming freshman to attend our 2016 LINK CREW/Freshman Orientation on August 3, 2016 from 7:30am-2:00pm. Freshman Orientation is a unique opportunity for our freshman to connect with fellow peers and our campus. From 12:30pm-2:00pm, LINK CREW will provide a BBQ for freshman. Orientation and the BBQ is a student only event. There will be a parent informational meeting from 1:00pm-2:00pm on the same day in the FHS Theatre. Parents will be expected to pick up their students at the end of the parent informational meeting at 2:00pm.
Sincerely,
Kristen Stravers, Mike Adorjan, & Liz Sisson LINK CREW 2016 – 2017 Coordinators This year’s LINK CREW is sponsored by the Folsom High School & FCUSD

Folsom High School Sober Grad presents
Tickets: $5.00 donation Prizes: 1 - $1,000 Grand Prize, 4-$100 Prizes Dropping: Saturday, October 15, 2016 Zittel Farms
Sober Grad Night—What is it?—A safe and fun, alcohol and drug free celebration for seniors on graduation night, organized by a group of dedicated volunteers and supported by our community. Seniors buy tickets for $62-80 each, but this in no way covers the actual cost of Sober Grad Night.
Cow Pie Bingo—What the heck is that??!!!--the primary fundraiser for Sober Grad Night. CPB raises $8,000 each year. Sober Grad typically carries forward $5,000 to start up the next year’s Sober Grad Night.
“Pay It Forward” Campaign-- Seniors are encouraged to buy 10 CPB tickets and then resell to Friends & Family. The “Pay It Forward” Campaign focuses on students supporting Sober Grad throughout their four years in smaller increments. We urge all freshmen, sophomores & juniors to buy at least 2 tickets each year, ultimately supporting their own Sober Grad Night. Two tickets cost $10 — a small price to pay for a chance to win $1,000 and support a great cause.
We are strongly encouraging parents of freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors to purchase your tickets at the Dog Walk. All senior parents will receive a phone call to purchase tickets.
How CPB works: A grid of squares is marked off on a field at Zittel Farms and the squares are numbered in random order; your CPB ticket number corresponds to a number on that field. A cow is turned loose on the grid to deposit their “PIE”. The square containing the “PIE” is the grand prize winner of $1,000, the four corner squares will each receive $100. Winner need not be present to win.
Please support Folsom High School Sober Grad Night! We greatly appreciate your donation! For more information Email: Cow Pie Bingo Chair at [email protected] or www.folsomsgn.com
