Students received certificates of congratulation at Rev. Dr. Frank Napier, Jr. School after completing a 4 week nutrition program. They are now well equipped to tackle healthy eating inside and outside of school!

A Harvest Fest event at School 10 was enjoyed by both parents and students on Oct. 30, as all loved the autumn treats and important information regarding FSCS health clinics. According to Treatment Coordinator, Maria Ruiz, parents were happy to hear about services FSCS provides, especially since so many parents work and sometimes find it difficult to take their children to a doctor.
