Hornet News

Dear FC Parents and Friends,

We had a wonderful October, filled with many great things. I want to personally thank all of our parents for attending conferences. The home-school connection is such an important part of your child's academic success. Thank you!

A huge shout-out to our amazing PTO and all of the sponsors who helped make our Fayette Central Carnival such a success! Because of your generous support, we raised nearly $4,000 for our school. We can’t thank you enough for your continued dedication to our students and staff.

Veterans Day Program – November 11 at 9:00 AM

We are honored to celebrate our Veterans during our annual Veterans Day Program on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at 9:00 AM. Our 6th graders will take the stage for their final performance as Hornets, and we invite all Veterans and 6th grade parents to join us for this special event.

After the program, Veterans and special guests are welcome to enjoy donuts and coffee, followed by a visit to our Scholastic Book Fair (open to special guests from 10:00 AM–3:00 PM).

A heartfelt thank you to Miss Corum for preparing our students for this meaningful performance!
