The FCHS RAKtivist (Activists for Random Acts of Kindness) class has been working hard this semester by participating in several activities throughout FCHS and other schools in the district. They spent a day at CJHS helping prepare the 8th graders for their upcoming high school experience. They also met their first group of 3rd grade pen pals from Mrs. Russell's class. They have big plans for the rest of the school year!
