Science in action! 🧬 Today, our high school biology students are exploring enzymes—special proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body. It’s amazing to learn about the tiny processes that help keep us going! 🔬
Take a look at what’s happening in our Intermediate hallway! The Lion Way reminds us to be respectful, on task, safe, and responsible, while our student and teacher spotlights celebrate that everyone is special and has something unique to share. Keep shining, Lions! 🖤❤️🤍
We are excited to share our first FRYSC report of the 2026-2027 school year!
Thank you all for your continued support!
🎃💙 October is more than just spooky season! 👻✨
October is a month full of awareness, understanding, kindness, and support. There are so many important causes recognized throughout the month, each giving us an opportunity to learn a little more about the people around us. 💙
This month, we’re highlighting Bullying Prevention and Dyslexia Awareness, while also recognizing several other important October awareness causes. Whether it’s choosing kindness, learning about the different ways our minds work, or simply taking the time to understand someone else’s experience, awareness matters. 🩵✨
Take a look at some of the causes recognized this month! 🎗️ Which one would you like to learn a little more about?
💙 Different. Kinder. Stronger. Together. 💙
