September 19, 2014

Welcome to My Inaugural Blog Post!
In an effort to keep parents better connected, I plan to release a weekly blog post to give you greater insight about the good things that are happening at Fremd High School. We have a great school, and getting parents more involved can make it even better!

In addition to our school's website, my monthly newsletter and our Twitter account (are you following @FremdVikings yet?) this is but one more way to get information about our school. If you have suggestions about the kinds of information that belong in here, please contact me at ktenopir@d211.org.
