Dear Parents… FMS Requests Your Comments!

Hello FMS Parents and Families! I hope everyone is enjoying autumn and looking forward to Thanksgiving and the holiday season. Perhaps you’ve managed to stay clear of the flu thus far. Not an easy feat these days! I swear that if I can make it to the end of the semester without getting sick it will be a miracle. Here’s to hoping though, right?

I wanted to address two topics relevant to your engagement in all aspects of the Fishburne experience. Firstly, if you are reading this post it means you’ve found our blog. I hope you’re reading it often because I try to place content on The Fishburne Times-Connect several times a week. Since we started the blog in July we’ve steadily increased traffic to the site, and now we’re getting almost 300 visits per day, and have had over 10,000 visits over the last four months!

With that in mind, I would really like your help in producing content for everyone to enjoy and well as your participation in the “Parents’ Forum.” Make sure to leave comments! In speaking for everyone at FMS, please know that we are very interested in your stories. How did you come to the decision to send your son to Fishburne? What was it about Fishburne that you found most attractive? How has your son changed since you dropped him off here in Waynesboro?

Please understand that I’m not looking for a novel. Any amount of writing is much appreciated. If you’d like to write more that’s great. All of us here at FMS know that this is a highly emotional decision. For many of you Fishburne was your first choice. For others, FMS was your best option under the circumstances. We understand the difference and hope you’ll share with everyone how you made that distinction and the big decision that followed.

Please submit your comments directly to the blog or email me your thoughts at (rcatherwood@fishburne.org).

Also, with regards to photo requests…

I’ve had several people ask about Shutterfly and whether you can purchase photos. Rather than upload tons of photos onto another server, I’ve been taking the best photos and placing them on the blog. If you see an image you like, let me know and I’ll send it to you for free. If you click on the image it should give you an image number for reference purposes.

Thanks!

Ryan
