The Cardinals learned about Martin Luther King Jr. Some of them even asked the librarian on the Book Mobile last Friday for books about him. We love their curiosity and that they know where to ask to find more materials on a topic!

Each day during Circle Time, students work on a sentence of the day. They talk about spacing, capitals, lower case letters, punctuation marks and they find the letters they're focusing on for the week.

The Bumblebees read "Do-Nothing Box" and then brought the story to life. They had a blast making their box! They even used tools to do it because it's tools week after all.

FC is proud to report a 98.64% high school graduation rate, once again placing us among the top districts in the state. This achievement reflects the dedication and collaboration of our entire FTCSC Flashes Community.
Today, we especially celebrate our FC Counseling Department—you are Difference Makers. From academic planning to social and emotional support, our counselors’ dedication, advocacy, and tireless efforts guide students through every step of their journey to graduation. Their impact is evident not only in FC’s continued leadership at the state level for graduation rates, but also in the lifelong difference they make through countless meaningful interactions with students.
While we spotlight our outstanding FC counselors, we also recognize that graduation is the result of years of support from teachers and staff across our entire FTCSC K–12 Flashes Community. Every interaction matters, and every role plays a vital part in supporting our fantastic students.
As FC Principal, Zak Tschiniak shared: “While our FC graduation rate is astounding in itself, we must go beyond the number and recognize that it is built on countless interactions between our gifted faculty and staff and the young hearts, minds, and spirits we are blessed to steward. These interactions represent FC's commitment to building relationships with our students and families to ensure each of our graduates is prepared for a life of purpose.”
Congratulations to the FC Class of 2025! And thank you to all the Difference Makers who contributed to their success—at FC and beyond.

Its Tools Week!
We've been talking all about tools that help us complete tasks. Today the Blue Jays used pencils as axels to move a heavy basket. Then they used an incline plane to move a heavy box.
Your students can practice with tools at home too! Using kid sized scissors to cut playdoh and paper helps strengthen their hands and improves their cutting skills. Using markers and crayons helps them practice holding writing utensils and improves fine motor skills.
Ask your student what tools they use each day!

The Bumblebees explored splat painting using a mallet! This fun activity helps build large muscle strength and coordination while encouraging creativity and confidence. Children practiced focus, following directions, and problem-solving—skills that support success in school. These abilities also carry over into everyday life by helping children manage their bodies, try new tasks, and approach challenges with confidence and curiosity.
