The Florence-Carlton parents, school and community will provide a safe, respectful environment that strives to prepare all students to become responsible, lifelong learners by

empowering them with the integrity, knowledge and skills to contribute to a changing world.

Dear Parents, Students, and Community Members, Many times children do things without thinking about the consequences of their actions. As adults it is our responsibility to remind all children to do what’s right even when no one is watching. Pranks are one such action that many of us have done at some time in our lives only to realize later that we caused pain or suffering to someone else or physical damage to someone’s property. These are not pranks when someone gets hurt emo-tionally or physically or when property is damaged. Last Saturday 2 middle school boys did that very thing when they plugged a toilet off of the old gym and flooded the building. These boys did more than just a prank, they committed at least two criminal acts. Their first crime was 45-6-203 MCA. Criminal trespass to property. (1) Except as provided in 15-7-139, 70-16-111, and 76-13-116, a person commits the offense of criminal tres-pass to property if the person knowingly: (a) enters or remains unlawfully in an occupied structure; or (b) enters or remains unlawfully in or upon the premises of another(1) and the second was 45-6-101 MCA. Criminal mischief. (1) A person commits the offense of criminal mischief if the per-son knowingly or purposely: (a) injures, damages, or destroys any property of another or public property without consent; (b) without consent tam-pers with property of another or public property so as to endanger or interfere with persons or property or its use(1). The students were disciplined by the school and will also face charges through the juvenile court system. This criminal act will cost the district tax payers money in many ways and will cost the boys and their families too. Parents please talk to your children about entering properties that they are not supposed to be in or on. An unlocked door is not an invitation to run around the school or a business after hours any more than it is to enter another person’s home without permission. We have security cameras at school and we will discipline and report to the sheriff students or individuals that trespass or cause damage on school property. This is a great place to live, work and raise families. With your help we will continue to provide a safe learning environment for all of our students, staff, and community members. Sincerely, Bud Scully Interim Superintendent References: (1) http://statutes.laws.com/montana Ravalli County Attorney’s Office

A Letter from Our Interim Superintendent

As most of you know, ALS Awareness has been in the news a lot lately. Our own FCS Graduate Jack Finlay suffers with ALS. So, the National Honor Society and Key Club decided to help the Finlay family. On Thursday Sept. 18, 2014, community and school members gathered together for a FUNdraiser for Jack Finlay—Bucks for Buckets! Students could pay for a teacher to dump a bucket of ice water on them and they could also pay to dump ice water on their teacher! Jack Finlay and his mom Jane joined us for this great event. ALS has certainly not dampened Jack’s bright smile and everyone was so glad to see him. $1900 was raised by this wonderful Florence Community to support Jack and let him know how much we care about him. We had buckets of fun too! A special thanks goes out to the members of National Honor Society and Key Club, Mrs. Read, Ms. Brager, Mr. Combo, Jody Maus, Debbie Burns, Paul Watling, Dennis Burns, the FCS Class of 1994 for their gener-ous donations and Lois Horsens for all they did to make this day a success. We are also grateful to the teacher and student participants along with the parent volunteers. Florence is amazing!

Juniors and seniors recently attended the College Fair hosted by the Uni-

versity of Montana. You never know what you will find out when you

check out a college. For example, did you know that Utah Valley Uni-

versity gives residency tuition to out-of-state students who have a GPA

of 3.3 and an ACT score of 24? Each college has unique standards and

their own scholarships too! Visit your colleges of interests’ web site.

SENIORS, Right now is the time to:

Register to take the ACT/SAT (some scholarships require scores

prior to December 31, 2014)

Dates available to take before the end of 2014:

ACT:

December 13th: Register by November 7th for no late fee

(Nov 8-21, $23 late fee).

SAT

November 8th: Register by October 9th for no late fee

(by October 24th, $27.50 late fee).

December 6th: Register by November 6th for no late fee

(by November 24th, $27.50 late fee).

The majority of scholarships offered are through local and colleges/

universities. Check out school web sites and look into their scholar-

ships offered.

If you are interested in attending an out of state school, check the

school’s website to see if it participates in the Western Undergradu-

ate Exchange (WUE). This is a scholarship that awards out of

state students college tuition at a reduced rate of up to 150% tuition

(For example, if residents pay $4000, a non-resident would pay

$6,000). This is a big savings! Each school has differing eligibility

criteria and often limits enrollment (usually first-come, first-served

basis). Start looking today

Begin applying to colleges you are interested in.

Old Outsized School Shoes for Africa

Once your back to school shopping is fin-ished, you may be wondering what to do with shoes from last year that no longer fit. Well, you're in luck because the Florence Carl-ton Community Church is looking for stur-dy, used shoes that still have some wear and tear left in them to donate to needy Africans who desperately need shoes. All sizes and types of shoes (adult sizes too) will be gladly accepted! Please be assured that any boots or shoes deemed not appropriate for Africa will be do-nated to local families and/or Missoula Good-will. Just drop them off in the bin at Jody's office in the Elementary building. This is a wonderful way to give and get rid of some old shoes at the same time. So far we estimate we have collected over 500 pairs of shoes and are nearing a thousand thanks to this community's generosity! Thank you! If you have any questions, please call Susan Miller at 273-4684.

Welcome to the Jungle

We, Jack Finlay and the entire Finlay Family, would like to thank

Florence Carlton Schools and the Florence community for participat-

ing in the ALS Ice Bucket FUNdraiser!

We would like to give a special thank you to Lisa Verlanic, Lois

Horsens, Key Club, National Honor Society and all other behind-the-

scenes workers, for without you, this surely could not have been such

a success!

During this journey, we’ve learned a lot about what it means to have

support, and, you the Florence community, have been our corner-

stone. Not only was this event beyond astounding, but also every-

thing you’ve done for us throughout the years has been awe-inspiring.

We would like to extend our gratitude for a lifetime’s worth of sup-

port.

We are asking everyone in the Florence community to come and walk for

Jack Finlay. On Saturday, October 4, 2014 at McCor-

mick Park, there will be a 2.5 mile walk to help fight

Lou Gehrig’s Disease. The walk will start at 11:00 am.

Bring your friends

The Montana Department of Transportation is hosting an open house on Oct. 7th at the

Florence Carlton School. To be discussed is a proposal to rebuild a portion of Second-

ary 203 (the East Side Hwy) from the new round-about to Ambrose Creek

Road. Please come to voice your support for extending the new bike/walking path

along the East Side Highway from Hidden Valley to Ambrose Road. If this trail were

constructed it would connect with the existing trails in Florence, and be a wonderful,

healthful, and safe amenity for all local and touring bicyclists in addition to our

students.

The meeting - (10/7) - is to be in the District Conference building 5 pm for display pe-

rusal and 6:30 for the presentation. Plan to attend and bring a friend. If you can't attend

contact MDOT at http://www.mdt.mt.gov/mdt/comment_form.shtml or by surface

mail to Ed Toavs District Administrator, P O. Box 7039 Missoula, MT 59807-

7039 . Please state that Florence supports the use of, and need for future use of the Mis-

soula to Lolo trail and all other non-motorized pathways.
