***Students are to hear the “Dangers of Fentanyl” Presentation from Laura and Chris Didier on Wednesday, February 16th. Many of our parents joined the presentation by the Didier’s on the evening of January 25th.
This message is very important for our students and the Didier’s have graciously agreed to do the presentation for them in an online format. Our hope is that all students will be educated on the dangers and prevented from experiencing the perils in their future. If you have any questions regarding the presentation, please feel free to contact Dr. Daniels at tdaniels@fcusd.org
