⭐The 2026 Founders Talent Show~ Friday, March 6 at 5 PM

⭐Founders Community Work Day — Let’s Show Up BIG

Founders Community Work Day — Let’s Show Up BIG

On Saturday, March 7 from 9:00 AM to Noon, we’re partnering with One Mission Bible Church for a morning of meaningful work on our campus, and we would love to see our Founders families out in full force.

This is more than pulling weeds or mulching the gaga pit. It’s an opportunity to model something powerful for our children. Civic virtue isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we live. When our students see their parents serving shoulder to shoulder with neighbors and friends, they learn what it means to take ownership, steward well, and care for the places that shape them.

Bring your work gloves. Bring a few spare tools. Bring your kids.

Sign up for a task that fits your skills here:

👉 https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0D4FA4A822A1FE3-62582452-founders#/

If the sign-up is full, come anyway. We will gladly find you a job that makes a real impact. There is always meaningful work to be done.

Let’s come together to care for the campus we love and show our children what it looks like to serve with purpose. 💛🏹

Work Day

⭐March: 5th Grade and House of Shakespeare Stocks the Lounge!

Each month, one or two grade/house level(s) “Stocks the Lounge”—filling our teacher lounge with grab-and-go snacks and drinks to keep our teachers fueled and feeling appreciated all year long. March is 5th grade and the House of Shakespeare's month to serve!

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

⭐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.
