Second Grade Winter Concert Brings Holiday Joy

On Monday, December 8 at 6:00 p.m., our second-grade students took the stage at the Rocky Point High School auditorium for their Winter Concert, and the evening was truly a celebration of music, community, and holiday spirit. The auditorium was filled with family members and friends who came out in impressive numbers to cheer on our young performers.

Under the direction of our dedicated music teacher, Ms. Macedonio, and Chorus Assistant, Ms. McGuire, students performed four holiday-themed songs that filled the space with warmth and joy. Their enthusiasm, confidence, and beautiful voices reminded everyone of the special magic that only children’s music can bring during this season.

Events like this are truly a team effort, and we are incredibly grateful to our clerical staff, teacher aides, security team, and custodial staff, whose behind-the-scenes work ensures that evenings like this run smoothly and feel special for our students and families.

Please enjoy highlights from the concert in the video above as we celebrate our second graders and another wonderful FJC community moment.

Thank You for a Successful Parent-Teacher Conference Week

Thank you to our teachers and families for making Parent-Teacher Conferences, held on Wednesday, December 10 and Thursday, December 11, such a success. We were incredibly proud of the strong turnout and the meaningful conversations that took place throughout both days.

These conferences provided an important opportunity for teachers and families to partner together and discuss the incredible strides our students are making academically, socially, and emotionally. We know that the greatest opportunity for student success occurs when school and home work together, and this week was a powerful reflection of that shared commitment.

We are grateful for the time, collaboration, and care shown by everyone involved, and we look forward to continuing this important work together as we move into the new year.
 

PTA Holiday Boutique This Weekend

We invite all families to join us this weekend for our PTA-sponsored Holiday Boutique, a beloved annual tradition and a favorite event for both students and families. This festive celebration is a wonderful opportunity to support our school while enjoying a fun-filled holiday experience together.

The Holiday Boutique will be held at the Rocky Point Middle School from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and will feature a variety of vendors, teacher read-alouds, visits with Santa, gift-wrapping stations, holiday music, and so much more. With something for everyone, it is sure to be a memorable way to kick off the season and create lasting holiday memories.

We hope you and your family will join us for this special community event. We look forward to seeing you there.
