Mrs. Warner and her FCS/FCCLA students worked hard on creating traffic safety projects again for the 2021-2022 school year. Students created posters, pamphlets, knowledge boards, classroom presentations and skits to help raise awareness on ways to be safe when driving.  The focus this year was on speed, distracted driving, impaired driving, and proper seat belt use. Students' projects were then submitted to the FACTS (Families Acting for Community Traffic Safety) initiative for review and the Lucas FCS/FCCLA won a $1,000 stipend!

High School is an incredibly formative time.

High School is an incredibly formative time. During these years, students discover their passions and build the foundation for who they will become. We recently visited your student's school to talk to them about we can help them celebrate this experience, and capture the essence of what high school is all about. We want to share this message with you directly in case your student hasn't had time in their busy schedule to do so (as if they ever would do that!).
