Story Time @FVES

Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month, we would like to share books about famous African Americans with you and your family. We encourage you to listen to them as a family, and have conversations about the message of the books. We will be adding more stories throughout the month.

On a personal note, I want to say that we love all our students at FVES. We want to celebrate our diversity, and show love and respect to all students every day.

Take care FVES family ~Mrs. Miller
