FAC Weekly Update
February 7, 2020
Good afternoon, Fine Arts Center Family
I hope that you had a wonderful week! It certainly was eventful...many thanks to our students, faculty, and staff for their flexibility and professionalism during yesterday's storm. We would also like to express our gratitude to Mr. Joe Urban and the GCS Food Services Team for providing pizza for our students. They anticipated the possibility of an issue with lunch service and came through with 500 slices for the FAC, which made for a delicious afternoon!
Here is the latest from the halls of the Fine Arts Center...
This Week's Student Leadership Lesson
“People often say that adversity makes you stronger, but that’s not always true. Many face adversity and become fearful and fragile as a result. The truth is adversity makes you stronger if you learn from it. Stay positive and resilient, and use it as a fuel for your growth.”
- Jon Gordon and Daniel Decker, STAY POSITIVE, page 19
