FBISD invites community members to submit names for the district’s 45^th elementary campus opening in August 2010 - deadline is Feb. 26

The district is seeking community suggestions for naming its 45th elementary school campus located at 636 Glendale Lakes Drive in Rosharon. Nominations of names must be written and submitted in a brief one or two paragraph statement that contains biographical/historical data and reasons justifying the suggested name.  Names nominated shall generally be names for persons or places.  If a person, the individual should have attained prominence locally or nationally, and have made a significant contribution to society.  If a place, the name should include historical relevance.  Typically, the district no longer names schools after planned communities and/or subdivisions due to the fact that in many instances, students may come from several surrounding neighborhoods and subdivisions to attend the same school.

Suggested names for the Elementary #45 campus should be submitted to the office of Dr. Marc Smith, Assistant Superintendent for Elementary School, 16431 Lexington Blvd., Sugar Land, 77479.  Nominations may also be faxed to 281-634-1702, or e-mailed to norma.perez@fortbendisd.com. 

The deadline for submitting names is February 26.  After the deadline, Tina Brown,principal of Elementary #45, will coordinate the naming committee.  The goal is to have a recommended name to submit to the Board of Trustees for consideration at the March 29 Board Meeting.
