⭐Archers Council Leadership Announcement

Following last week’s Archers Council General Meeting and officer elections, we are pleased to share the results and introduce our 2026–27 Archers Council officers:

We are grateful for each of these leaders and their willingness to give their time and talents in the year ahead.

At the same time, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our outgoing officers for their dedication and faithful service:

Lisa Kelly: AABC President

Jessica Hughes: AABC Event Coordinator

Dan Seymour: AABC Treasurer

Renee Jumper: ASC Event Coordinator

Alison Davis: SEC President

Brooke Wanger: SEC Vice President

Sharla Martin: SEC Secretary

Several of these leaders have served our FCA community for many years, offering steady guidance, deep commitment, and countless hours behind the scenes. Their impact is lasting and will continue to benefit our school for years to come.

We are truly grateful for both our outgoing and incoming leaders and the strong foundation that continues to be built for our school!

⭐May: All Grade Levels Stocks the Lounge!

For the month of May, we are opening Stock the Lounge to all grade levels as we finish the year strong and bless our teachers and staff in a meaningful way.

This is more than just treats. It’s a simple, meaningful way to say thank you to the teachers who pour their hearts into our children every single day.

Every $10 in donations = 1 Archer Hour, so your gift not only blesses our teachers but also counts toward your family’s volunteer hours.

Let’s surround our teachers with the same care and encouragement they show our kids—help us fill the lounge and remind them how much they mean to the Founders family! All donations can be dropped off in B1 or B3 offices during the month.

Below is a list of some of our staff’s favorite snacks:

Coffee Pods

Mini Creamers for Coffee

Sodas

Sparkling Waters

Chips (Pretzels, crackers, popcorn, nuts)

Granola Bars

Trail Mix

Gluten Free Snacks

Fresh Fruit

Bagels and Cream Cheese

⭐Get caffeinated. Give back. Support our school at Scooter’s!

Now through May, Scooter’s Coffee will donate $1 for every $5+ purchase made through the Scooter’s Coffee app when customers select our school as their chosen organization!

It’s an easy (and delicious!) way to give back.

How to participate:

Scan the QR code and follow the instructions to select our school in the Scooter’s Coffee app.

If you don’t already have the app, you’ll receive an email prompting you to register and then return to complete the process.

After making a qualifying $5+ purchase at either Leander location, you’ll see an in-app confirmation that your visit has been credited to our school.

Please see the attached flyer for step-by-step instructions. Thank you for helping us make every cup count!

⭐Limited Supply of Yearbooks Available for Purchase ~ Get Yours Today!

⭐House Shirt Store is NOW OPEN

We’re excited to introduce our new House Shirt Store! 🎉

Throughout the school year, we welcome new students and see so many fresh faces join our community. We also know that sometimes important deadlines, like ordering house shirts, can be easy to miss.

That’s why we created a solution! Our House Shirt Store is now open year-round, giving every student the opportunity to purchase their house shirt at any time.

Whether you’re new to our school, just inducted into your House, missed the original order window, or just need another shirt, we’ve got you covered. We want every student to feel connected and proud to represent their house!

Check it out and grab your house shirt whenever it works for you!

⭐Ongoing Reminders...

*New Attendance Reporting Procedures

Reporting an absence and other attendance related issues just got easier. You can now report early dismissal for athletics, early dismissals for student drivers, make alternate arrangements for student pickup, and report absences, all through our new online forms found here.

When the need arises, go to our school website at foundersleander.com. Navigate to one of three places - the Archers in Action page, Attendance page, or For Our Families tab to find a “Report an Absence” button. Simply click that button, find and complete the appropriate form for your situation and upload documents and correspondence directly to that form. Done! It’s that easy.

Please contact [email protected] if you have further questions.

Please note these changes in our 2025-2026 Family Handbook.

*Uniform Closet Donation Guidelines

The following school uniform items will be accepted as donations to our uniform closet:

Items with the school logo (including polos, jackets, spirit wear);
Plaid Wednesday formal skirts;
White Oxford shirts;
Girls jumpers;
Uniform ties and bows;
Belts

All items must be in good condition (clean, not stained or faded)

*Apply to be a 2025-2026 Volunteer!

Volunteers must be approved each school year to be on campus.

Each school year, ResponsiveEd requires every volunteer to complete an online volunteer application and undergo a background check. Once you are approved, you must review the guidelines for Founders Archer Volunteers and sign a confidentiality agreement. Applications remain active for the current school year. A volunteer must reapply each school year regardless of their date of application. Please allow up to two weeks for processing of your application.
