Page 1 of 4 May 5, 2017 Dear Students, Parents, Faculty, & Staff May 5, 2017 Dear Students, Parents, Faculty, & Staff, Happy Cinco de Mayo! Following are this week’s FIDS updates: Teacher Appreciation Week. On behalf of the faculty and staff of FIDS, please accept my gratitude for making Teacher Appreciation Week memorable for our esteemed staff. Kudos to all who coordinated this gratitude-filled week; special shout- outs to Mrs. Anna Mehrabi, Parent Assn Teacher Appreciation Week Chair, and to Ms. Mary Reiling, Director of Development.

Free delivery will be provided to all orders received/paid by today, May 5, 2017. Parent Association Meeting. The May Parent Association (PA) Meeting will be held on Friday, May 12, 2017, at 9:00 a.m.—immediately following morning meeting—at the Fisher Island Tennis Center Conference Room. Please note venue change, which is necessary due to ERB testing. Moms and dads are invited to attend! ERB (Educational Records Bureau) Testing Dates. The annual administration of the ERB Comprehensive Testing Program will occur: May 8 - 12 for Grades 3 and 4; and May 22 - 26 for Grades 1 and 2. To ensure a successful administration of the test, please adhere to the following: Unless your child is ill, please make sure he/she attends school each day during the testing window. Students who are absent will be required to make-up the subtests they miss, prolonging the standardized-testing process. Make sure your child has a good night’s sleep each night and a nutritious breakfast each morning preceding the test dates. Test taking is one of life’s realities. Please present the test as an important opportunity for your child to demonstrate his/her knowledge and talent. Encourage them to do their best, but not to the point of creating fear or anxiety. Following each day’s testing, we will provide time for students to engage in enjoyable learning activities. Page 1 of 4 Basketball Game: FIDS Sharks Red Team vs. FIDS Sharks White Team.

O'NEILL VATICAN CITY - (NC) - Michelan- gelo's masterpiece, the Pieta, severely damaged by a hammer-wielding Hungarian will be restored as faithfully as possible to its original beauty but will remain forever flawed. The 6,700-pound statue carved from a single block of white Cararra marble was smashed by several hammer blows shortly before noon Pentecost Sunday, May 20, in its side chapel in St. Peter's Basilica. The statue, portraying the sorrowing Virgin holding the limp, dead body of Christ, is world famous and considered perhaps the most valued treasure of the Vatican. ACCORDING to visitors in the church at the time, a bearded man leaped over a low marble railing of the chapel, jumped on a table in front of the statue and began flailing away with a mason's hammer. In the rain of blows on the figure, of the Virgin the (continued on page 21) CHE PIETA," by Michelangelo, is shown left in 1964 as it was photographed during »e New York World's Fair.
