Bringing the school together for our Senior Thank-you's was a great way to wrap up all of our fall sports and head into our holiday break! Enjoy some snapshots of our students of the month and some Friendsgiving get togethers.

⭐5th Grade Leaders! ⭐
Our 5th Graders have been leading the way in spreading KINDESS while promoting bully prevention. These Farmers have been in classrooms reading The Pout-Pout Fish and the Bully-Bully Shark to our younger students. In addition, they worked with the 4th grade to create a KINDESS Quilt that is proudly posted outside our morning meeting gym so all our students can see it everyday. Thank you for being LEADERS at FCES!

After the Veteran's Day Assembly on Tuesday, Mrs. Evans had a special visitor stop by her classroom. Thanks to Wally Hammond for stopping by her classroom. Our students enjoyed the visit. Thank you for your service.

They say if you can't beat them, join them! To celebrate the 67th day of school (or somewhere close to the 67th day) , the FCJHS teachers had their own 6-7 day! Lots of fun today! We should do this 6-7 more times!
