FCMS owes a huge thank you to the Alliance of Therapy Dogs and the Spartanburg Humane Society for sharing some incredible dogs with our teachers today! The pups were so warm and loving, and the staff appreciated their happy faces and wagging tails. They brought such a good vibe into our school and we loved having them amongst us so very much. It was a great gift for us today!

The FCMS 7th and 8th grade bands had their state Concert Performance Assessment today. They prepared 3 pieces to play for 3 judges. They also sightread a new piece of music that our students have never seen before. They had a scant 6 minutes to work through the new piece without playing on instruments (no sounds allowed), then played that piece for 1 judge.
Bands can earn a superior, excellent, good, fair, or poor. All 4 judges gave both bands the highest possible rating of superior which means that BOTH BANDS EARNED A SUPERIOR WITH DISTINCTION! This is a huge accomplishment and a testament to the hard work of the students and directors!
In recognition of National School Librarian Day, FCMS would like to give a huge shout-out to Kristie Cox and Brooke Gresham! They are the ultimate servants to our school, and they always do their incredible work with a warm smile. We are so grateful for you!! #CougarsLEAD 📚📖📕
The Florence Chapel Singers attended the Choral Performance Assessment last Thursday and earned a superior rating!
