By Guest Blogger on November 1st, 2017
This post was written by FLVS student and Creative Writing Club board member Grace Robbins.

You guessed it: it’s NaNo time.
NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. Continue reading

Reflections from the Class of 2017
By Guest Blogger on June 7th, 2017
This post was written by FLVS Full Time National Honor Society President, Olivia Horne.
Family and friends – thank you for providing unwavering support, love and encouragement as we pursue our futures.
Teachers and staff – thank you for making those futures possible through your ability to make lifelong learning fun and our dreams accessible.

We have dared to be different. We, Class of 2017, have proven our possession of the invaluable ability to define our own futures. Continue reading
