Greetings!
As we prepare for the Thanksgiving Holiday, please know how thankful I am for each of you! The exploration of knowledge and daily ah-ha moments that our scholar's experience are definitely near the top of my gratitude list.
My favorite ah-ha moment today was overheard in a social studies room as students discussed the top innovations, FCS was mentioned as well as our mission and vision. The quote from the student was, "I like how we are taught why it is what it is, not just, that it is." One of my favorite stages with my daughter was the "why" stage. I don't think we ever truly grow out of wanting to know the why!
Several of our students are organizing the #christmaselfies drive to donate jackets, coats and new toys for children in the community. We are looking forward to helping them collect these items for their service learning project! If you have something you would like to donate, please send it to school to place in one of the wrapped boxes in the hallway by Dec. 5th.
I hope that this holiday season you enjoy your "whys" in life!
