FHS November Newsletter

On October 18, our FHS students got to be a part of the Wall of Honor induction ceremony, where FHS alumni Brad Rose, Suzan Kessel, and Paul Wohlers were recognized for their amazing achievements. The 3 inductees then spent the afternoon in classes talking to our students about leadership and their life and career experiences.

On October 24, Emma Benoit, the most sought-after national speaker on youth suicide awareness and prevention, came to FHS to share her story. Students had the opportunity to preview 60 minutes of her documentary, followed by a Q&A session with students. We are very grateful for the opportunity to have Emma here meeting with our students, and are very appreciative that the Fairfield Mental Health Alliance made this happen.

We had many FHS students who earned recognitions and achievements this month in various activities!

Congratulations to Bailey Belzer, Layla Terrell, Xavier Kessel, and Dylan Adam for being selected to the Iowa All State Choir and to Simeon Claussen for being selected as an alternate!
