FLUCOS Honored for Excellence in Achievement!
Several of our FCHS FLUCOS participated in the Special Olympics North America Move Challenge (SONA) this past fall. The SONA Move Challenge was held from September 26 – November 6, 2022. As a team, our student participants tracked how many minutes they exercised and self-reported that total each week. Our students worked hard to earn themselves a coveted spot on the region-wide leaderboards! Students were recognized at school with pins and certificates this past week. They are looking forward to the next challenge!
FLUCOS Saving Lives!
Thank you to high school teacher Mrs. Sharon Payne and students Jay Lyons, Makayla Gentry and Braelyn Via for the blood drive they organized on January 22nd, 2023. They did a fantastic job planning and running this life saving opportunity for community members to participate. The next opportunity the students are organizing will be on March 26th 2023 at the high school. Hope to see you there!
We Are Grateful for our Counselors!
Our counselors play a critical role in the lives of our students, family and staff. Their number one goal every day is to do whatever it takes to help our students succeed – removing obstacles to learning, helping them navigate challenging life circumstances and setting them up to build and enjoy healthy, vibrant relationships.
Let’s celebrate this week and our wonderful counselors by expressing our gratitude and admiration for the incredible contribution they make to our schools and community!
