This was an exciting week with lots of activities! All week we honored the victims of cancer in every form. Many of us have had family and friends succumb to this illness and as a school we did our best to raise money in their honor. This year all of the donations raised by 2nd period classes were collected and will be donated to the KM Legacy Foundation.

FUHS choral students attended the 11th USC Choral Leadership Workshop Saturday, 10/20.
In this picture they are standing with Tesfa Wondemagegnehu, Director of Choral Ministries at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Minneapolis, and a widely in demand guest conductor and lecturer who has conducted honor choirs in the US, Germany, Austria, Hungary and Costa Rica. (He was amazing and the students learned so much from his leadership!)
Thank you Mr. Hedgecock for continuing to provide these one of a kind experiences for our students!

Our JROTC took 2 Color Guard Teams to a Color Guard Competition at Kaiser HS, Fontana on Saturday, and we did really well. In fact, our Varsity brought home 1st Place out of 21 teams entered. Our Novice team brought home 2nd place out of 24 teams entered. The Color Guard teams are tested on their general knowledge on several subjects. They are also inspected and evaluated for their precision and professionalism during their presentation of the flags in a ceremony. The greatest comment made by one of the judges to our varsity team was, "You guys look and march like the soldiers guarding the Tombs of the Unknown." Congrats to these cadets!!

It was the opening show for our newly renovated Black Box Theater with alumni Zachary Hillman as guest director. We opened,
Angel Street, the first play to be performed in our Little Theater back in 1956! I loved the fact that it definitely was an intimate setting in which you feel like you are part of the action! Our cast was amazing as usual! Thank you to Ms. Craft for these great pictures!

Our awesome science teachers, Ms. Wilhelmi, Ms. Irwin, Ms. Sthele, Mr. Oliva, and a few of our student teachers took our students down to San Diego last week. The kids were at the Beckman Institute for Conservation Research and they were learning a unit on spatial ecology where they modeled radio telemetry outside and then went into the lab to look at desert tortoise GPS & Telemetry data to determine the home ranges in km2 of translocated tortoise vs resident tortoises. To determine the home range area, the students used GIS software. They also had the opportunity to go into the Safari Park. Hands on Learning at its best! Thank you teachers for making this happen!

We did really well at the Gabrielino Screaming Eagles Invitational last weekend. 20 Trophies were awarded to our students! Congratulations to all!! We are well on our way to another National showing!
Our Speech and Debate program also got some great news this week...We were informed that FUHS has earned the 2017-18 Leading Chapter Award in the West Los Angeles District! Out of over 3000 member schools nationwide, we are one of only 109 to receive this prestigious award! We owe a lot to former advisor Mr. Prisilla Merrit who led this team up until this year and also to Mrs. Emily Markussen who is our new advisor and is carrying on with the tradition of success.

The State of California passed legislation in 2016 with AB 1719 that requires all students graduating from High School beginning in 2019 to have completed training in Hands-Only CPR. Although it is not a full certification course it is beneficial for all of our students and our community. We will begin this year by training our seniors and our freshman. Our school district began the training of our students at BPHS last month. All other district schools, including FUHS are setting up a plan and timeline to get this done prior to the end of the school year. For more information on this new law, please

Thank you Dr. Posthuma for this athletic update!
Athletics for the Week of October 22nd-26th;
Wow! What a game! If you missed last Friday night's Fullerton High home football game let me fill you in...the game had it all. Two rival teams, fighting for a place in the playoffs, winner take all. Troy was the visiting team at Fullerton District Stadium on Friday, Oct. 26. In the first half, the game went back and forth, with each team scoring. Troy took a 31-19 halftime lead. In the 3rd quarter, Troy extended its lead to 39-19. However, that's when the Indians came together. They scored the next 27 points, the last 7 with 21 seconds left to come away with the victory, 46-39! The Indian football team will play Pacifica HS of Oxnard this Friday, Nov. 2nd. Check our website to see the location of the game.
Our girls tennis is also going to the playoffs! The pairings come out Monday morning. The match may be on Tuesday the 30th or soon thereafter. The team is excited about having a chance to extend it season.
Boys Water Polo ended their season last week. The boys battled each game of the Freeway League Carousel, but we didn't have the outcomes we all wanted. The boys gave their best each game and have much to be proud of!
Finally, the Freeway League Cross Country Finals will be on Wednesday, Oct. 31 at Clark Park; races begin at 1pm. Our runners have been preparing hard to improve on their place in the Freeway League. We wish our runners all the best as they compete in the finals.
Stay tuned for our Winter Season Schedules and Teams, coming up soon!
