FHS All-Star Committee hosts Anchors of Hope
The All-Star Committee, consisting of students from that leadership class — Noah Haag, Moses Burnette, Ella Schlomer and Alexa Shrader — organized an activity, the 2nd Annual Anchors of Hope event, in FHS gymnasium Friday afternoon, Dec.12, to give the school’s special education students an opportunity to play basketball.
“This event is about the student body making connections with students who are part of our special education program,” Schlomer said. “It allows for all of the students to shine in their own unique way.”
“Their joy, determination and teamwork inspire all of us,” Burnette said. “These events aren’t about winning; they’re about celebrating every student.”
“The goal for this event is to encourage and love on our special education classmates,” Haag said. “We hope it increases the spirit of community within our school, too.”
“Our student body is very invested in our special ed students, so planning an event where we all get to come together to celebrate them individually has been really fun,” Shrader said.
Haag said the event consists of three stations for warm-ups.
