HHS Choir Fundraiser
Homestead Choir is hosting a fundraiser at Armadillo Willy's, 161 E. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, from 5-9 pm Tuesday February 9. Fundraiser Flyers will be available at the door (show to cashier). 20% of proceeds on February 9 will support Choir trips for performances and festivals.
An Important Message from Mr. Burn
Attached here is the letter/survey sent to all FUHSD homes by our
district's superintendent, Polly Bove.
Although our district is not looking at budget cuts this Spring, they are
looking at budget cuts next Spring. If a parcel tax measure is not passed
this Spring, the cuts next Spring are likely to be more severe.
If you have not already done so, please take the time to read, complete, and
submit this survey.
Thank you,
John Burn
