This evening provides an excellent opportunity to explore everything FCCC has to offer. All 30+ career and technical programs will be open, allowing families to tour labs, meet instructors, and see hands-on learning in action. Whether a student has a clear career path in mind or is still exploring options, Open House is a valuable way to learn more. Students who have already applied for the 2026–2027 school year can use Open House to learn what comes next. Students who have not yet applied will also have the opportunity to apply during the event, with staff available to assist.

We are specifically missing a lot of our covered paperback graphic novels and smaller-sized books, as well as many of our new books. Please check bookshelves, vehicles, and anywhere else library books try to get lost. 😀

Deck yourself in red and green!

Our 6th-grade, Junior High, and High School Band & Choir Holiday Concerts are just around the corner, and we can’t wait to share the sounds of the season with you! Join us as our talented Blackbird musicians fill the auditorium with festive cheer, classic holiday favorites, and a little musical magic. ✨


REMINDER: Blackbird Students are invited to mash up their artistic skills with a favorite book/character and create an ornament for the Library's Christmas tree. These ornaments will become part of the Library’s decorations for years to come... a growing celebration of the stories we love and the readers who cherish them.
The contest is open to all students, preschool through 12th grade. Ornaments can be made from any material, but should be 5" or smaller. Please turn in ornaments to Mrs. Lammers no later than Friday, December 5th.
Staff will determine the winning ornaments from each grade, with prizes awarded before Christmas break.




REMINDER: We’re collecting items for Christmas Cheer this week, and we’ve added a little friendly competition to make it even more fun: The winning classroom in each division will take home the ultimate reward… A PIZZA PARTY! 🍕
🖤 PreK–6: Class competition by teacher homeroom
💛 7–12: Class competition by grade
Let’s fill those boxes, lift our community up, and show what Blackbird generosity looks like. Every item makes a difference... let’s do this together!
