Fayetteville High School held a college fair today for current juniors and seniors. The fair brought admissions officers from various colleges and universities to meet with and answer questions from students. The college fair was a great starting point for some students, a great way for students to discover new schools, and the perfect way for students to visit with multiple colleges and universities in one day! Go FHS!

FPS Child Nutrition staff enjoyed hands-on professional development with chef Kent Getzin. Chef Getzin joins us from Chelan, Washington, thanks to a generous grant funded and supported by the Lifetime Foundation.
The Child Nutrition staff was instructed to create original recipes after learning about the fundamentals of taste physiology and flavor development. Food was then prepared by staff using the new recipes, and staff members all sampled the food in a taste test. Recipes approved by the staff will be used throughout the district in our lunch program!
Friday, September 23 will be an Online Learning Day for our staff members. Students will not attend school on Friday.
