French American School of Puget Sound | A Private Bilingual School in WA

Autumn’s Arrival Must Be Fêted!

Students: It’s time to celebrate the passing of summer into fall! Collect as many different colored leaves as you can find and create something beautiful out of them. Send us a picture (FridayFlash@FASPS.org) of your creation by noon on Friday, September 25, and we’ll include it in our Friday Flash! Oh, and a lucky few submissions will win some more FASPS t-shirts, maybe a water bottle or two. Let your creativity flow this fall!
