Soar assembly

Learning to SOAR at FJC!

This morning, our students participated in our annual SOAR and Student Code of Conduct Assemblies!

Our Kindergarten students had the opportunity to learn all about what it means to SOAR at FJC—demonstrating Safety, Ownership, Acceptance, and Respect—and how they can be recognized when they are caught SOARing throughout the school. Our first and second graders also had a chance to review what SOAR looks and sounds like in our classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, playground, and throughout FJC.

Our first and second graders were also treated to a very special presentation from students from Rocky Point High School. As part of the district’s Strategic Planning Committee, these students have spent the past two years developing a child-friendly coloring book version of the Rocky Point Student Code of Conduct. On Friday, September 18, they had the opportunity to share their finished project with our students and help them understand some of the important expectations that allow everyone at FJC to learn, grow, and SOAR together.

We are incredibly grateful to our high school students for the time, thought, and creativity they put into creating something especially for our youngest learners. It was also wonderful for our students to see some of our older Rocky Point students serving as role models!

And, of course, no SOAR assembly would be complete without a few Eagles! Edward the Eagle and Rocky the Eagle made a special appearance, bringing plenty of excitement to our assemblies and helping us kick off another great year of SOARing at FJC!
 

Staff Spotlight: Meet Ms. Buck!

This week, we’re excited to introduce Ms. Kylie Buck, FJC’s new Speech-Language Pathologist!

Ms. Buck has a passion for helping children find their voice, build confidence, and develop the communication skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom. She loves getting to know each student as an individual and creating a supportive, fun environment where children feel comfortable being themselves.

As she begins her time at FJC, Ms. Buck is especially excited to get to know her students and become part of the FJC community. For her, one of the most rewarding parts of working in education is building relationships with students and having the opportunity to be part of their academic, social, and emotional growth.

 
A Few Fun Facts About Ms. Buck:
  • Favorite food: Pizza
  • Also a favorite: Ice cream
  • Favorite place to be: The beach
  • She enjoys reading
  • She loves skiing
  • And some exciting news—she’s getting married next fall!

When asked what she hopes FJC students know about her, Ms. Buck shared that they can always be themselves, their voice matters, and she will always be there to support them.

Ms. Buck is also looking forward to getting to know our FJC families and values open communication and partnership throughout the year.

We are so excited to welcome Ms. Buck to the FJC family and know she will play an important role in helping our students find their voices, grow in confidence, and SOAR!
