We had a really great afternoon assembly at FCJHS! First, we welcomed our state cross country runners with a drumline entrance to the gym. Then we acknowledged our the rest of our cross country team, softball team, baseball team, speech team, 100 point AR Readers, and announced our Straight A students from the first quarter. Finished it all up with a great Farmer Buck Drawing ran by our Student Council! It is a great day to be a Farmer!!!
