Reading Rockstar
Congratulations to Kevin Priessman, who received my “Reading Rockstar of the Week” recognition this week. Kevin does a great job with completing assignments and using his time wisely in class. He’s always kind and respectful to others. Keep up the spectacular work, Kevin!

First Annual Halloween Choir Concert
The 7th and 8th grade choir students along with the high school choirs put on the first Halloween concert on Thursday. Students (and Mr. Williams) dressed up and sang favorite songs from the season.
Community Shout Out
Many thanks to the Franklin County Community Foundation for its $1000 grant donation to our business lab at FCMS to purchase a network printer. This printer is used daily and allows students to see the work that is created once it comes off of the screen. Our students are growing in knowledge and information due to donations such as these from our community! Thanks, FCCF!
