Happy Friday!

We are officially moving into our Cognia testing season. Freshmen will be completing their Math tests this coming Tuesday and Wednesday. Please support their success with a good night's sleep and strong encouragement to do their best. We appreciate parental support as these tests are valuable tools to help us gauge our curriculum.

Have a great week!

The visual arts program has 16 students participating in the Annual Chaffee Student Exhibit, which had its opening reception this past Saturday. We also have 8 students participating in the Youth Art Month Display happening at the Fair Haven welcome center from now until March 29th (no opening reception).

On April 8th, Sophomores and Juniors will be attending a local College and Career Fair. Please check out the list of amazing institutions they will be able to meet with! Later in the year (May 21st) all FHU students will be participating in the Workforce Exploration event as well.

Thanks to the generosity of the LaPlaca family and community members who have contributed to the Tom LaPlaca Goodwill Fund and the Fran LaPlaca Performing Arts Fund, our school has resources available to support students who may benefit from additional opportunities.

These funds may be used to assist students with needs such as athletic equipment, participation in summer sports camps, musical instruments, travel to music festivals, or attire required for performances. Our goal is to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent students from pursuing their interests and talents in athletics or the performing arts.

If your family believes your student could benefit from this type of support, please feel welcome to reach out confidentially to the school counseling office or administration. We would be happy to speak with you and explore how these funds might help support your student’s participation.

We are grateful to the donors whose generosity helps create opportunities for our students to learn, grow, and thrive.

The FHUMHS Theater Program is excited to participate in the regional one-act festival at Long Trail School on Saturday, March 21st. Our team will be performing We’re Not Making This Play Up As We Go - Honest during the second performance block (around 4:00 pm).
