Softball season is officially underway at Fossum!
If the first practice is any indication of what’s ahead, we’re in great shape—there were so many runs we lost count. We’re excited for the hard work, the growth, and the wins that are sure to come this season.

Today is Mrs. Demo’s last day on our campus, and we want to take a moment to celebrate her as she begins her well-earned retirement. As our dyslexia teacher, Mrs. Demo has served Fossum with heart, patience, and unwavering dedication—creating a classroom that was not just a place of learning, but a safe space filled with encouragement and care.
She has truly been a light on our campus, brightening our students’ days the moment they walked through her door. Her impact will live on through the confidence she built, the progress she championed, and the countless lives she touched along the way.
Thank you, Mrs. Demo, for showing up every day with love and purpose. 💐🦅
You will be deeply missed, and we wish you nothing but joy in this next chapter!
