VIP Training Information
What is VIP Training?:
Olentangy Schools require all volunteers to attend a short one hour training session. Volunteers, who have attended this training at Freedom Trail last year, do not need to attend this year. This training is important for the safety of all Freedom Trail students and those volunteering. At this training, a VIP Fact Sheet must be read and signed in order to work with the students. Once you are trained, VIP name tags will be made and distributed to you via your child as soon as possible.
When is VIP training?
Freedom Trail Elementary will hold VIP Trainings on:
- Wednesday, September 1st at 7:00pm
- Friday, September 3rd at 9:30am
Training will begin in the Commons at Freedom Trail Elementary. You only need to attend one of these sessions. No RSVP’s are necessary, simply show up at the training session time that is convenient for you. Please contact Jill Fate, VIP Coordinator, if you have any questions or if you need to be trained but cannot attend one of the training times above. You can leave a message for her in the PTO mailbox or reach her at jfate@insight.rr.com.

Attention Freedom Trail Parents!
Back to School Shopping days are upon us! Polaris Fashion Place kicked off this year’s Earning for Learning campaign on Monday, August 9th. Freedom Trail was proud to take First Place last year – and we are aiming to do so again this year to win a substantial cash prize which will help support many of our student activities!!
MOST IMPORTANTLY – Remember to show your receipts to the customer service counter on the second floor across from JC Penneys and the Brio/Molly Woo’s entrance and tell them you are shopping on behalf of Freedom Trail Elementary School!!
EVERY dollar spent at Polaris Fashion Place August 9 -October 2 counts toward the Earning for Learning contest. Watch for special Bonus Point opportunities (double points on Mondays & Tuesdays) and updates from FTPTO for other special promotions!!
Let’s blaze a trail into First Place for 2010!
