FJC 2nd Grade Veterans Day Assembly

FJC Second Graders Honor Our Veterans

On Thursday, November 5th, FJC's second grade students hosted a heartwarming Veterans Day Assembly to honor the brave men and women who have served our country. The morning was made even more special as students had the opportunity to invite family members and friends who have served in the Armed Forces to join us as our guests of honor.

Throughout the celebration, students learned about the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of our veterans and the important role they have played in protecting our freedoms. Our second graders shared their appreciation through handmade thank-you cards and a beautiful musical performance featuring the touching lyrics, "Thank you, thank you, thank you to you."

One of the highlights of the morning was a special presentation by a visiting veteran who introduced students to the trumpet and bugle, demonstrating how the instruments produce sound and explaining their significance in military traditions and ceremonies.

The assembly was a wonderful reminder that it is never too early to teach our youngest learners the importance of gratitude, respect, and service. We extend a heartfelt thank you to our second grade teachers and staff for organizing such a meaningful celebration, and especially to the veterans who joined us and made the morning so memorable.

To all who have served, thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your service to our country!

Rock Around the Clock! FJC Celebrates 50 Days of School!

Hey, cool cats! Can you believe we're already approaching our 50th day of school? That's right, FJC is getting ready to take a trip back in time to the fabulous 1950s!

On Tuesday, November 17th, we're turning back the clock and celebrating 50 fantastic days of learning, laughter, and fun! We're inviting all students and staff to get into the spirit by dressing in their best 1950s attire. Think poodle skirts, leather jackets, rolled-up jeans, and slicked-back hair. It's going to be the bee's knees!

Our little learners have already accomplished so much in just 50 days, and we can't think of a more swell way to celebrate this milestone together!

So grab your dancing shoes, put on your coolest threads, and get ready to rock around FJC! It's going to be a day that's outta sight!

See you at the sock hop, FJC!
 

FJC is Off to Broadway… Well, Almost!

On Thursday, November 19th, our FJC students will be treated to a little Broadway magic as we take a short walk to the Rocky Point High School auditorium to enjoy the Rocky Point Middle School's production of Mary Poppins!

We are especially excited to see so many of our former FJC students take the stage and showcase their incredible talents. What a wonderful opportunity for our youngest learners to experience the magic of live theater, cheer on our older students, and perhaps even be inspired to take the stage themselves one day!

We can't wait for what promises to be a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious experience!
 

SOAR Students of the Week!

Each day at FJC, our students have opportunities to show what it means to SOAR through Safety, Ownership, Acceptance, and Respect! When a student is recognized for demonstrating one of these SOAR attributes, they receive an Eagle Ticket, which is entered into our weekly SOAR raffle.

Congratulations to last week’s SOAR raffle winners!  We also want to celebrate every student who earned an Eagle Ticket this week. Each ticket represents a moment when one of our students made a positive choice, showed kindness, helped someone else, or demonstrated what it means to SOAR at FJC.

  • Nora Friedman
  • Thisbe Bond
  • Summer Samms

We are proud of all our Eagles—keep collecting those tickets and keep SOARing!
