A Note from the Principal

Dear FCS Families,

Our Halloween event was a huge success! Thank you to all the kids who came dressed up, and to the parent volunteers and teachers who helped hand out candy and keep everything running smoothly. Everyone's energy made it such a fun day. You'll find a recap and photos below.

Looking ahead, on Saturday, 11/14, we'll hold a smaller fundraising food festival to support our 2027 Lunar New Year celebration. You can pre-order 碗粿 (Wan Gui) using the link below.

Warmly, Angela Principal, Fremont Chinese School
