Yesterday, we had the honor of welcoming back former FCS Scholars for Senior Walk! 🎓💙

This graduating class is extra special to us because their 8th grade year was the year we moved into our new campus. Watching them walk our halls again brought back so many memories and reminded us just how far they have come.

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you and all that you have accomplished. We can’t wait to see all of the amazing things your future holds. Once an Atom, always an Atom! 💙💚
