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

Florence Chapel is so profoundly grateful to Draxlmaier Group for choosing to be our newest community partner and for their incredible donation to our school! Thank you! #CougarsLEAD
Many thanks to Woodruff Roebuck Water District for providing our staff with an ice cream bar! Likewise, thanks to Draxlmaier for sharing Nothing Bundt Cakes with everyone! Teacher Appreciation Week was incredible! 🍨🍧🥮🎂
Big shoutout to our admin for providing pancakes and sausage this morning and drinks at lunchtime today! Teacher Appreciation Week has been phenomenal! 🥞🥞🥞
In recognition of School Principals’ Day, Florence Chapel is pretty darn excited to celebrate Josh Kay, our leader and our captain. Mr. Kay had a vision for what he wanted FCMS to be, and as it beginning to take that shape, it is easy to see that everyone is better for it. We work in an environment where people respect and care for one another, where excellence in academics, arts, music, athletics, and character is persistently acknowledged, and where we have fun doing the work we are called to do. Josh’s fingerprints are all over that. And we are grateful that is true. Thank you, Mr. Kay for making a difference by helping us to be our best. FCMS loves you!
Athletic information
Ms. Snow’s classes were visited by a special FCMS celebrity this week. Mrs. Benita Heintz taught her science classes how math and science are interconnected with a fun game. Benita taught at Florence Chapel for 14 years previously and is also Ms. Snow’s mom! It was a very special day in the Ma’at House!
