I remember the rush of excitement of Christmas day when I was a child, and it’s not unlike how I feel this morning. The halls are buzzing with FCS parents exchanging hugs and good wishes, like a large, extended family. At 10 AM, the curtain will open for our Holiday Show. It’s a gift I can’t wait to see.
 
I caught a glimpse of the show this week during rehearsal. I had heard students humming for weeks, but I couldn’t imagine what it would be like to see all 245 of our students gathered and singing “When You Believe” together. Kiersten Whitehead, Soo Young Chrisfield, and Kathy Rodeffer have orchestrated a memorable ceremony to send us off to winter break and the holidays with uplifting song in our hearts.

I hope all of our families enjoy time to slow down, reflect, and welcome a new decade.


In Peace and Partnership,

Angela
