FJC students had the wonderful opportunity to see the incredible production of Seussical Jr. performed by our middle school students. On Thursday, the entire school walked over to the high school, where we were welcomed with an unforgettable theatrical experience.

It was especially heartwarming to see many of our former FJC students shining brightly on stage. Our current students were an outstanding audience—fully engaged and captivated by the colorful sets, impressive singing, and lively dancing. Some favorite moments included spotting the Grinch, watching the dazzling lights dance across the ceiling, and hearing the remarkable voices of the talented actors and actresses.

Not only did our students leave with a memory that will stay with them for years to come, but we hope that today’s experience also sparked the “inner star” in some of our young Eagles. Opportunities like this remind us of the power of the arts and the strength of our Rocky Point community.

This week, FJC students were treated to an unforgettable experience as we welcomed author Lisa Muchnik for a special schoolwide assembly. Lisa captivated our students with a reading of her book Rainbow Panda, a heartwarming story that celebrates kindness, individuality, and embracing what makes each of us unique.

Following the reading, students participated in hands-on activities connected to the themes of the book. Classrooms came alive with creativity as students engaged, shared ideas, and made meaningful connections to Rainbow Panda’s message.

The highlight of the assembly came at the end, when all of our students joined together to sing the Rainbow Panda song. Our very own school psychologist — and Lisa’s husband — Marc Muchnik accompanied the students on piano. The room was filled with color as students waved bright rainbow scarves, creating a truly magical moment of unity and joy.

This beautiful opportunity was made possible by our incredible PTA, whose continued support brings enriching, inspiring experiences to our FJC community. We are so grateful for their partnership and commitment to our students.
