We’d like to take a moment to celebrate our AMAZING school counselors for the incredible work they do each day on behalf of our students and staff at FCS. Your dedication, compassion, and unwavering support make a tremendous difference in our school community. We appreciate you!

🌟 Teacher Spotlight: Angela Anderson🌟 

Why I Love Teaching: 
“My teachers pushed me to do hard things and allowed me opportunities to step outside of my comfort zone so that I could grow. They saw potential in me that I did not see. I love teaching because I get to do the same for my students.”   

Best Advice for Students: 
"Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will. Don't be afraid to fail. You never know what you are capable of until you try, problem-solve, and then try again!” 

Favorite Hobby: 
"I wrote a children's book called, Grandma's Blankets, that is in the process of being illustrated by my talented cousin, Emily Congdon Rickey.” 

Favorite Book: 
The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles—”I get chills and tears every time I read this book because Ruby, as a 1st grade student, found courage to change the course of history.”  

Fun Fact: 
“I've visited 17 different countries, including China, where I taught at the Beijing Institute of Technology for two years. Other than China, I have had the privilege of visiting schools in The Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Jamaica, and Uganda. I have stepped foot on every continent except Antarctica, and I enjoy finding ways to bring my traveling experiences back to the classroom. Despite all of my traveling, I still get lost in Olean.”
