The Weekly Update
April 22-27
This Week's Highlights
This weekend has led me to witness yet again, we have the most amazing scholars! With 5 minutes left before final time trials, we were denied safety check again and yet the persistence of our team held and our Gravity Games Scholars worked with good samaritans to ensure that we had a successful time trial and a sweet 16 run!
Our racers were not the only ones to succeed this weekend, our ELA teacher, Mrs. Yergler noted the "awesomeness" of our actors in Avenue Q. We have amazing scholars! If you didn't get the opportunity to witness any of this for yourself this weekend, catch us next weekend at WMMS/FCS South Lot as a few of our entrepreneurial scholars showcase the 2nd annual FCS Car Show from 9am-2pm! We'd love to see you!
This week is also our 1st S'more to our FCS upcoming scholars! We are so looking forward to seeing you next year! On May 11, we will be having our FCS scholars orientation meeting, we will sell some of the best BBQ you have ever had for $10.00 a plate so you don't have to worry about dinner (and your meal benefits FCS students in our Orientation Trip)!

End of the Year Events
On June 5th at 1:00 pm all students will have the opportunity to participate in field day! This day has been specially planned and arranged by Coach Gardin for our scholars! Get ready to have some fun! We will also pass out yearbooks, have a yearbook signing and have a limited quantity of yearbooks for sale during this time.
We will also have our celebration day on June 7th at 1:00 pm at the MHS Aux. gym. Afterward, we are inviting all of our upcoming FCS students and our current students to engage in our End of the Year Block Party! More details to come soon!
Proctors Needed!
Foothills Community School is preparing for state testing. Being a small school gives our students a "family feel" to their middle school experience, but it also leaves us lacking in adult support during end of year testing.
On May 25- June 5, we are in need of volunteers to serve as proctors for testing. If you would be willing to volunteer 3 or 4 hours of your time to help show these young men and women you care, please email Melanie Shaver (melanie.shaver@mcdowell.k12.nc.us) or call 652-3390.
Thank you for supporting our school!
