Traditionally, Fargo Public Schools has presented its State of the Schools Address alongside its annual public focus group event. FPS has received feedback that it may be preferable to conduct more localized focus group opportunities and allow school communities to go to their neighborhood schools rather than one large centralized event for the whole District. This year, the annual public focus group will be held at each individual building in the fall, with all schools covering the same topics.

Into the Woods Jr. twists familiar fairy tales into a new story. When a baker and his wife learn they have been cursed with childlessness by the witch next door, they embark on a quest to retrieve specific objects required to break the spell. Along the way, they meet Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Jack (who climbed the beanstalk) and more familiar characters.

The January 26-27 performances are at 7 p.m. while the January 28 performance is at 2 p.m. in the Discovery Middle School theater.
