The FCS Atoms Update!
This week our 8th graders have several opportunities to visit the High School options within the county. See the schedule below:
MEC: Feb 4th-6:30pm
MAI: Feb 5th- 6:30pm
MHS: Feb 7-6:30pm
Each of these open houses will be held at the school's location.
Please remember that the HS universal application is required for all students:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfl0QEh2J9Qdd6dazjVQaKES5VkQDiD-yQlJA4VxrIVGC2FvQ/viewform This application is required for applying to MEC, MAI or MHS. Submission is due by 2/14.
On Friday, we had 3 students moving on to the county competition from the talent show. All the participants were awesome and represented FCS well! This weekend our First Lego League team went and competed at State, they did an amazing job! Our students are showing out in local, regional and statewide competitions, we are proud of all of the work that they are doing.
I am excited to see the imaginations of our scholars bloom during this 9 weeks, check out what they are up to (https://sites.google.com/mcdowell.k12.nc.us/a-whole-new-world/home).
Thanks!
