All-School Reunion — This year’s edition of the All-School Reunion was a great success. The meal and desserts were fantastic and the 160+ former FHS students had a chance to relax and reminisce. Highlights of the event was the singing of the National Anthem accompanied by Elaina Procter on the violin. What started as an instrumental solo turned into a full choral rendition under her capable musicianship. Another highlight was the singing of the school song led by 1973 grads Kevin & Carolyn Wiseman. I had never heard it sung in harmony and it was awesome. Special thanks to Sawyer Osborn, Caked by Joana, and J&J Cozy Eats for the food. Also, Nora Mendez, Yvette Williams, Patricia Yanez, Crystal Moroney, Nydia Mendez, Mari Martinez, and all committee members for their hard work!
