FVHS PTSA Information

 

Looking for a fun and unique way to celebrate someone special or congratulate a big win? 

Through a very generous donation by Two Brothers Landscaping, the FVHS PTSA has been gifted a boulder that can be rented for celebrations by students, parents and staff of FVHS!  Please note this is NOT the rock on Broad Street - this rock is located in the STUDENT PARKING LOT on the corner between spaces 40 and 41. 

Rentals begin Saturday, January 7th.  All funds raised will go directly to support PTSA programs, events, scholarships and grants. 

Reservations can be made by using the link below, scanning a poster around the school with a QR code or visiting the rock directly and scanning the QR code provided on the sign.
