2009
Annual Giving Campaign
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has supported our
2009 Annual Giving Campaign effort! Donations are arriving in the Development office everyday; we are confident that
we'll reach our goal of $30,000, making this our most successful Annual Giving Campaign to date!
Also, thank you to the parents, alumni, board members, and staff who volunteered their
time and talents to the phon-a-thon portion of the campaign. We received $10,000 in pledges during the two-night event.
What a tremendous achievement for our first phone-a-thon!

FAS
Alumnus Receives NBA Honor
FAS alumnus Ed Lacerte has begun his 23rd season
with the Celtics, making him the longest-serving athletic trainer in franchise history. He was recently honored by
the National Basketball Athletic Trainers Association with a new award. The Ed Lacerte Service Award will be presented
to a member of the NBATA every two years. NBATA chairman Wally Blase called him "the model example of what
our organization has strived to portray."
Hannaford Helps Schools
Each year from September until December, Hannaford Supermarkets helps schools like Franco American School
by giving us $3 for every four participating items that we purchase. Here is how it works: Between September 6
and December 6, purchase four items from Hannaford's list of participating brands. You will receive a $3 voucher
with your receipt; if you purchase eight qualifying items, then you will receive a voucher for $6 - There is no limit
to how much you can earn for FAS!! Put your voucher(s) in an envelope, write your name on it, and bring it
to your homeroom teacher or the main office. In December, FAS will redeem all of these vouchers for actual cash. Last
year, we raised more money than any other local school; as a result, we were awarded an additional $1,000, earning
us nearly $2,000 toward sports equipment, art supplies, technology, books, and more! What makes this fundraiser so easy
is that the participating brands are those that many of us already buy: Kellogg's and General Mills, Ragu, Ocean
Spray juices, Tyson, Clorox, Gorton, and so much more. Click here to be directed to the Hannaford Helps Schools webpage for a list of participating products!
