Dear Parent,
We want to remind you that ATS HeartCheck is coming to Fair Grove Schools on Nov. 3rd to provide comprehensive heart screenings for congenital and genetic conditions. The discounted price is typically $129 BUT DEVON’S BEAT, a non-profit foundation out of Lincoln, MO, has offered to pay 50% of the price for EVERY CHILD TESTED! Testing includes an EKG, blood pressure test and echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) for ONLY $64! The normal cost for these tests would exceed $1,500, if done in the hospital or doctor’s office.
We strongly encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity and sign your child up for these potentially lifesaving tests TODAY. Appointments are offered on a First Come-First Serve basis and pre-registration is required by visiting the ATS HeartCheck website, or calling (913) 735-5760. Discounted pricing is available for those that qualify and can be requested on the ATS website as well.
If you have questions about this opportunity, contact Athletic Testing Solutions TODAY at (888) 862-8518
REGISTER NOW at https://www.athletictestingsolutions.com/location-kansas-city-surrounding-area/

We have moved the paper recycling bin from the bus barn lot to just North of the baseball field.
All of our Fair Grove School (PK-12th grade) recycling is collected by Middle and High School students and they need the bin at a walking distance they can quickly access to drop off the paper.
The bin is still accessible for community drop off of paper 24/7 and as always please be respectful of school property by not putting anything but paper or chipboard (cereal box type paper) in the bin and not leaving trash or bags around the bin. The school organizes this effort to help teach our students the value of recycling, if the bin is abused by putting trash or cardboard in it the company providing the bin for free will not continue to work with us so please report misuse or direct questions to Lisa Bernet at 417-759-2233 x102.
