Dear FVS Community,
Greetings from the Prairie where we enjoyed a brief, but much needed bit of rain this afternoon. We are working feverishly in preparation for the virtual Baccalaureate & Commencement ceremonies which will be broadcast on May 21 and 22 respectively from 7-9 p.m. MDT. I hope all of you will join us as we celebrate the Class of 2020. And, I hope you have also enjoyed the wonderful flood of congratulatory messages to our seniors from our community that have been posted on social media. If you wish to send your own message there is still time! Please email
communications@fvs.edu to do so.
This week marks a couple of significant milestones, specifically, the beginning of AP Exams, which are being administered online, as well as our senior’s final classes at FVS, which take place this Friday. This is always a bittersweet time of year as we begin to say goodbye, but also bid them good luck as they make their way toward the bright futures that await them.
Finally, I’d like to offer thanks to our House Directors and the many other faculty and staff who have contributed to the herculean effort underway to help families retrieve student belongings and then pack the remainder for shipment or storage. If you have not yet contacted the Deans’ Office to make arrangements regarding your own belongings, please do so as soon as possible via
deansoffice@fvs.edu.
We’re in the home stretch, and while the year has not finished as we had hoped, I’m nonetheless inspired by the grit and perseverance that I’ve seen exhibited by our community as we have worked through these challenges. Thank you for the part each and every one of you has played, and for the work we will accomplish in the days, weeks, and months ahead - together.
As always, take good care, stay safe and be well.
Sincerely,
William Webb
