Arts Programs

​Research has consistently shown that students who have access to a quality arts program in school show enhanced problem solving skills, improved academic performance, better focus, creative thinking and a sense of accountability. 
 
Last year, the benevolence of our parents and community members helped FFS raise enough to fund a unique arts class for EVERY grade in this school year.

Technology Programs

​Technology continues to evolve and it is important to prepare our students for the world ahead.  Our teachers need the right tools and a relevant curriculum so we can reach this goal.  
 
Over the past few years the FFS community has been able to fund new iPads and laptops for the school, support our teacher's professional development and help maintain the digital literacy program to give our students a solid technical foundation.
