FHPS Board of Education Meeting at 7:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity to share our story with the entire district. We have a group of students in a Project Based Learning experience developing CW’s presentation for the meeting. They had to answer the question, “How do we highlight CW?” They won’t let me see the final product until the Board Meeting. If you have a 1/2 hour that night, I am confident you will be impressed with our students Presentation of Learning!
