What an unforgettable day at Fossum! 🦅 We started the morning with a warm welcome from our namesake, Michael Fossum himself! Later, we cheered on our former Falcons as they took their final walk through our halls during their Top 10% Senior Walk 👏🏽 And to top it all off, our 6th graders had the incredible opportunity to learn more about Mr. Fossum during a special presentation. A day full of pride, inspiration, and Falcon spirit! ❤️🖤
