Under the direction of Elena MacDonald, our middle school choirs performed the National Anthem at Angels Stadium. Fulton, Masuda, and Talbert choirs showcased their talents, performing together for a packed house at Angels Stadium.

Masuda ASB continued its Friday Fun series with Mario Kart Races! Students and staff were seen pedaling their hearts out on the blacktop obstacle course as fellow Monarchs cheered them on. What a memorable middle school moment!

Talbert Middle School's Creativity Club hosted a positively perfect pumpkin-filled afternoon for a packed room of creative students. Spooky jack-o-lanterns and smiling faces reflect what a hit this project was.

FVSD schools honor students for being role models and leaders on their campuses. Congratulations to all awardees for demonstrating good character.
