FRCS Sibling Enrollment Opens Today, 2/15
The day has arrived. If you have a student enrolled here at FRCS and you're interested in enrolling your other non-FRCS-attending child, enrollment has officially opened. Be sure to fill out an application (you can fill it out online here) and bring in the registration fee of $400 cash or check to secure the spot. That's it! We will call and schedule testing in the near future. Good luck!
No School, 2/19
Please remember, there will be no school February 19th. Preschool through 12th grade. And obviously, that means there will be no late stay as well. Enjoy the day!

George Washington Carver
What does Axle Grease, Nitroglycerin, and Printer's Ink have in common? They're all by-products of the common peanut!
George Washington Carver is credited with finding 300 uses for the peanut and yet, he did not invent peanut butter.
(Not going to lie. I can get pretty creative with a good, sturdy box, but finding 300 different uses for something is an amazing feat. The struggle is real to find six different meals to make in one week. I am impressed.)G.W. Carver was born a slave around 1864 in Missouri. After being kidnapped and later found by Moses Carver, he was returned and adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Carver after the end of slavery in 1865. Facing many difficulties and hardships, Mr. G.W. Carver didn't let anything stand in his way.
During a time when black people weren't allowed to be educated, Mrs. Carver taught him anyway. When he wasn't admitted into college because of his race, he homesteaded and conducted experiments. He was the first black student accepted into Iowa State and later was hired by none other than Booker T. Washington at the Tuskegee Institute and helped shape the future.
