On Friday, November 16th, 2012, we will host the fifth

annual Fall Creek Turkey Trot. Parents, neighbors, fac-

ulty and staff are all invited to come out and trot with

the students. All grade levels will be able to partici-

pate according to the schedule below. Guests who

come to the school to trot will have their laps counted

for the class/student for which they choose. Guests in

strollers are welcome but their laps will not count. Due

to safety reasons, we ask that all pets be left at home.

Please be sure to wear comfortable clothes and a

good pair of tennis shoes. For further details, feel free

to contact Coach James via phone or email. Ready,

set, …Trot!!!!!Trot!!!!!Trot!!!!!Trot!!!!!

We still need plenty of volunteers to run the Turkey

Trot - 8 per grade. Please sign up for the time slots

before or after your child’s trot, so you can participate

in the event with your child. Go to www.fcpto.com/

volunteer and sign up ONLINE by clicking the SIGN

UP GENIUS button under Turkey Trot. By clicking here,

the event page will pop up and you can make your

choice of time slot. You might have to set up a pass-

worry, that’s the only time you’ll have to do it!

www.fcpto.com

FCE PTO wants to improve the information exchange with

all of the parents. We would like to introduce our organiza-

tion to you as well as get ideas and feedback from you: Go

to our webpage and discover what Parent Teacher Organi-

zation is all about!

You can also access the new PTO webpage through the

FCE Home Page http://www.humbleisd.net/fce by clicking

on PTO under Quick Links on the left hand side.

This week’s Focus: VOLUNTEERING

Click on the volunteer tab once you’re on the PTO web-

page. You will find greetings from our Volunteer Coordina-

tor Hazel Edwards and a list of upcoming events at school that rely on volunteers. Most of our events need plenty of

volunteers and that’s where YOU can help.

Under each upcoming event you will find a button from

SIGN UP GENIUS. By clicking that button the event page

opens showing shifts, times, and the kind of volunteers

needed. You can choose the best option for you and sign

in with your email address and your name. If you sign up

for the very first time, it will ask you to set up a password –

don’t worry, that is only required once.

This process will save paper and make the handling of vol-

unteers much easier!

Next event is TURKEY TROT! Why don’t you try it out right

now?

We are still working on various pages – bear with us and

please let us know what is missing and what you are notic-

ing by emailing to webmaster@fcpto.com.
