Helping One Another Strengthens Our Community
|
Every year, I am amazed by the generosity of our community, staff and students, and this year is no different. As you will see in the holiday giving story below, this holiday season will be better for families all over our district because of that generosity. We know that putting your heart into giving changes not only the lives of those receiving but also of those giving. I would like to thank each and every one of you who have added value to another person’s life this holiday season by being of service and giving selflessly, for embodying FISD’s core belief, “helping one another strengthens our community.” I hope your holidays are joyous and your blessings are abundant.

Service-Learning = Purpose and Well-being
|
|
As FISD worked with stakeholders on the FISD Portrait of a Graduate and the Strategic Plan, it was clear that living a life of purpose is something that our parents and community want for our students.

Those things are certainly worthy acts, but service learning takes those acts and adds the elements of connection, reflection and purpose.
