We’re kicking off a new way for FCS teachers to connect and learn from one another this school year — Fun with FACS Fridays!
These informal meet-ups are designed for networking, seeing how other teachers set up their classrooms, sharing classroom management ideas, and enjoying an optional hands-on activity.
At our first session, join us for a cozy apple crisp and apple pie making workshop. All ingredients will be provided for the make & take! If you’d like to bring home a full pie to bake, please bring your own pie plate.
🍏 All are welcome to attend!
Interested in hosting a future FACS Friday? We’re looking for teachers to open their classrooms for a 1–2 hour session later this year.
