Many thanks to the middle school families who joined us for service projects at Family Engagement Night last Thursday. Families made cards for members of our community, created birthday cake boxes, made dog toys for local shelters, and assembled welcome bags for new FMS students. It was wonderful to share the evening with you! Thank you also to our high school volunteers who helped with the night, and our amazing staff members who planned our evening, gathered supplies, and organized the events. It was a great night serving our community together!

FCSD buses will be returning to normal routes on Friday, December 5th. Thank you for your patience during the winter weather we had recently. We definitely keep your student's safety in mind.
