Happy Thanksgiving


This week we have the opportunity for a moment, just before the busyness of the holiday season takes over, to stop and give thanks. Here at the FRC we are thankful for a beautiful new building and a great school year thus far. As the voices of singing children fill the JELV halls, we are thankful for their smiling faces and joyful hearts. We are also thankful for teachers, administrators, and staff who tirelessly pour their time and energy into JELV students.
Have a a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
