FPST NEWS, June 9-13: Swimathon, Team Photo, Mini-Flyer Helpers, and MORE!

Hello Flyer Families, 

What an amazing Swimathon we had on Saturday! Big thank you to Marla and Melanie for flipping hundreds of pancakes for our swimmers! And huge appreciation to the parents who helped with donations, set up, tallying, and cheering for your Flyers who swam their hearts out! Winners for total lap counts will be announced after our fundraiser closes next week. See more updates below. 

PET POLICY: We love your pets, but respectfully ask that they do not enter into the pool site. The city health inspector visited the pool this morning to ensure we are following this rule after a report had been made. Thank you for your cooperation.
