The Fugett Flash

Greetings Fugett Families,

February is African American History Month. According to History.com, "African American History Month is an annual celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time for recognizing their central role in U.S. history... This annual celebration has inspired schools and communities nationwide to organize local celebrations, establish history clubs and host performances and lectures." Please join FMS in celebrating African American History Month.
