🎢 Our science students were fully engaged as they engineered roller coasters designed to maximize potential and kinetic energy, all with one goal in mind—making sure the marble sticks the landing! This is what focused, determined learning looks like at Fossum 🦅🌟

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!

Wishing our students, families, staff, and community a joyful holiday season filled with peace, warmth, and special moments. Thank you for making Fossum such a wonderful place to learn, grow, and belong.

From our Falcon family to yours—happy holidays and best wishes for the new year! 🦅❤️
