A great day exploring FISD!
Our newest FEF Director, Chelsea Chase, and newest staff member, Katie Fort, hit the road for a New Director Field Trip, visiting Westwood, Bales, the Transition Center, and the FISD Therapeutic Education Center!
It was truly amazing to see firsthand the impact these campuses and programs have across Friendswood ISD and to learn so much from the incredible educators and students we met along the way. From seeing innovative grants in action to learning more about the unique opportunities happening throughout the district, we left with an even greater appreciation for the work happening in our schools every day.
A huge thank you to Mr. Roher for putting together this field trip and giving us such a great example of a grant in action! We loved seeing the Transition Center’s new SOAR Safely Grant, funded by FEF, come to life and learning more about the impact it will have.
