The FCS Atoms Update!
Last night FCS requested support from the McDowell County School Board to apply for NC STEM Designation. Rarely are schools accepted on the first attempt, but just like we give feedback to students, we seek feedback for our own improvement. The McDowell County Board of Education supported our application, we have included the highlight and a link for you to review and also provide feedback.
This past weekend, our Lego Robotics Team competed last Saturday in regional competitions and will be moving on to state. They won fastest robot run and mechanical design. Congrats to these guys for their hard work!
Last week our 2019-2020 application went live! This application is for any new student interested in attending FCS next year. (Students already admitted to FCS do not need to reapply). Applications will be open until Feb 28th, 2019. FCS student representatives will be heading out to schools to host information nights and student days to answer questions and promote the amazing things we do at FCS. https://goo.gl/forms/blOmRoxZFPZH11E82
On Jan. 17th from 5:00-9:00 pm we will be having a public showing of our top student made Space Survival Movies at McDowell High School in the auditorium. We hope that all of you will be there for the reveal of the top performers and celebrate our scholar's hard work!
Our project wrapped up last week. Space Survival: In order for our parents to see what the project includes, check it out at https://sites.google.com/mcdowell.k12.nc.us/fcs-spacesurvival2018-19/home
Thanks!
