On Tuesday, May 7th, the High School auditorium came alive with the sound of music as our second graders took the stage for their Spring Chorus Concert. It was a truly magical evening, filled with joyful voices, big smiles, and an audience full of proud families and friends.

Our incredible students sang their hearts out to a packed house, showcasing not only their musical talents but also their hard work and enthusiasm. The concert was a beautiful celebration of the power of music and the joy it brings to our school community.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our first-year music teacher, Ms. Macedonio, whose passion for music, singing, and her students shone through every moment of the performance. We’re also grateful to Ms. McGuire, Assistant Chorus Director, for her support and guidance, and to the many school aides who assisted with rehearsals and behind-the-scenes preparations—your efforts made the evening possible.

It was a night to remember and a wonderful reminder of the incredible gift of music in our students’ lives.

This week, we took time to celebrate the incredible teachers who make FJC such a special place to learn and grow. Teacher Appreciation Week is all about recognizing the dedication, compassion, and creativity our educators bring to their classrooms every single day.

To show our gratitude, the PTA hosted a festive Cinco de Mayo luncheon, complete with delicious food and cheerful decorations—it was a wonderful way to come together and say thank you.

We also had some fun with a Staff Underground Spirit Week, adding a bit of joy and laughter to the week with themed dress-up days that brought smiles to students and staff alike.

Whether it’s a smile at the door, a creative classroom project, or an extra moment spent helping a student succeed, our teachers make a difference in ways big and small.

To all of our amazing teachers: thank you for everything you do—for the lessons you teach, the encouragement you give, and the love you show our students every day. You are truly appreciated!
