FCE would like to formally recognize the following local businesses that have made donations to support our new AGRISTEAM Academy in Kindergarten for the 2026-2027 school year. This is a brand new Academy that is being offered across our district to only FCE Kindergarten students that is going to focus on engaging hands-on learning as students grow multiple crops, flowers, and other plants as well as a deeper understanding of how the environment and weather can impact plants.
