Each month in our district, we have a Social and Emotional Superpower. For the month of August, our Superpower is Optimism. A student, staff, and teacher who exhibited this superpower was selected from each school. We are excited to share our FES Optimistic Students, Staff, and Teachers of the Month for August! Optimism is our superpower!
