Today we took time to celebrate the amazing 8th grade class at FCMS! They have completed two years here and will be moving on to high school, but the mark that they left here is indelible. Congratulations to those great students! 🏆#CougarsLEAD











Max is a 150 lb. Great Pyrenees who got to visit the students in the RISE Program this week. The kids were super excited! Max was so patient and gentle and loved the attention, as he is working on becoming a certified therapy dog. Great experience for all involved!

It’s School Nurses Day and we’re more than happy to celebrate Nurse Susan Duggar today! She is a ferocious caretaker of our students and staff. She is so knowledgeable and vigilant, but she also brings abundant compassion to her work as well. She’s an incredible asset. We are so fortunate and grateful for Dr. Duggar. We love her for what she does, how she does it, and who she is! #CougarsLEAD
