Attention Book Blaster families!
Time is ticking to earn our students more books! You can contribute through the invitation from your favorite student or make a school-wide contribution through Sunday night.
Don't forget!
When you register and send 10+ invitations, it helps classroom teachers earn shopping sprees for classroom supplies or books. Thanks for supporting our teachers!
Thank you to everyone in our community and beyond that have contributed to our Book Blast event! Your support will help students take home as many books as possible, up to 10 each. In our quest to promote literacy and reading, every new book is like gold to be treasured!
If you don't have a student in mind, please feel free to reach out to our office.
We want to make sure every child gets the opportunity to participate.

A Message from FCUSD #168: We are watching the Winter Weather forecast. It appears that it may be messy in the morning, but unless conditions deteriorate significantly overnight, we would expect to welcome students back to school on Tuesday morning.
Just take things a little slower and more carefully in the morning. Have a good evening.
Senior Night for HS Girls basketball tonight. We play Century. Varsity only starting at 6pm.
