National School Counseling Week highlights the tremendous impact school counselors can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.
The special week honoring school counselors provides recognition for school counselors who “implement comprehensive school counseling programs, a vital part of the educational process for all students as they meet the challenges of the 21st century,”
We love our schools and students!

A flock of bassoons from FCS (1 alumni & 2 who started at FCS but moved on during HS) playing Christmas Carols at the Missoula Public Library to celebrate double reed Christmas!

Our 6th and 7th grade students are working hard to make "portable hugs" for the residents and The Living Centre! Mrs. P's late mom coined the term "portable hug" when she was battling cancer. A portable hug is a small, cozy lap blanket that mimics the feeling of being embraced.
Thank you to our donors who provided the fleece for this SOAR to Support project!
