It is a half-day filled with hard work as students are transported around the city for acts of community service.
FCS families are given a night of dining and donating during the auction. The month will close with the much-awaited spring formal where students enjoy an evening dressed in stylish dresses and dashing tuxes. This year’s theme will be Black and White, the night will be full of classic decor featuring the famous duo colors. Rather than creating movies, each class will be preparing music videos.
