FBUSD Staff Blog 9.4.2026
A big shout-out to all of the staff involved in the various Back to School Nights throughout the district. The attendance at each of the events was great. Our students and parents were genuinely engaged. I appreciate all of the hard work that went into making these events a success.
Speaking of Back to School, join us on Monday for the Paul Bunyan Days Parade. As you can see below, the theme this year is Back to School with Paul and Babe. Our staff will have a place of honor in the parade aboard one of our buses. If you would like to join us, please arrive in the Skunk Train parking lot between 11:00 and 11:30 on Monday. The parade will start at 12:00. I look forward to seeing all who can be a part of this event!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Kids on foot, in wagons, on bikes, with animals, pretty much anything they can dream up, are welcome to participate.
Entrants are grouped by age: 0-4, 5-9, and 10-12.
The parade route begins at the corner of E Laurel and Franklin and ends at Bainbridge Park.
At the park, prizes will be awarded, free snacks will be distributed, and you can get your picture taken with Paul Bunyan and his giant axe.
