Case Study, Chapter 2- Why FUMA?

Submitted by giszackt on Tue, 08/25/2009 - 6:51am

Please remember that this case study is offered in three parts- chapters 1-3. This is Chapter 2. If you haven't yet read chapter 1, please do so before proceeding. This chapter is entitled- "Why FUMA?" So you're faced with this dilemma that won't go away by itself. In fact, left unchecked it will only get worse. What can you do about your son's school struggles? When all the cards are on the table, both you and he recognize that his freshman year left much to be desired, and neither of you are satisfied.

Dr. Bob Grant, our Director of Guidance, will be at the Tyson's Corner kiosk (2nd floor outside of Macy's) this weekend. Dr. Grant is a great source of information about the One Subject Plan and its benefits for cadets in our upper school program. In addition to his position on our staff, Dr. Grant is also a former "FUMA parent" and can talk with you about the Fork Union from a "dad's" perspective. It is not too late to enroll in our fall session, but time is running out. Classes begin on September 4th!

CADET REPORTING DAYS

Submitted by grantb on Wed, 08/19/2009 - 7:26am

REPORTING DAYS HAVE BEGUN!! Among the items coming to campus with cadets, we'd like to see a lot of de-activated cell phones, pagers and PDA's. As you may recall FUMA is an official collection site for the cell phones for soldiers project. Each donated, de-activated phones buys one hour of pre-paid phone time for a service member stationed overseas, usually in the Middle East or Korea.

Fork Union Military Academy and the "Lost Boys of the Sudan" make headlines again as the school prepares for another academic year. A recent article in the Fluvanna Review covers the story of The Lomong brothers, Peter (13) and and Alex (11). With the help of FUMA scholarships and the kindness of Coach Winston Brown and his wife Beth, these two young men have an educational opportunity they would have never dreamed of in their homeland of Sudan.

And so it begins!

This summer has gone by so very quickly. Here it is August, and school will be resuming soon. I have to admit, FUMA just isn't FUMA without our boys, so we are really looking forward to seeing our returning students and welcoming new ones. This year we will welcome international students from United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, China, South Korea, Mexico, Iceland, Canada,and Ireland, just to name a few. We have an exciting year planned!
