School News Roll Call Magazine highlights the excellence in our public schools. The quality of the public schools in a community sets the standard for the quality of the community. Everyone is a partner in the education of our youth through public education. The publication is now available in both English and Vietnamese.
Here is an excerpt from the current issue:
"The Fountain Valley School District proudly recognizes outstanding students through the Lighthouse Leadership Awards, celebrating those who exemplify perseverance, citizenship, leadership, teamwork, integrity, respect, and love.
Each year, one student from every TK-5th grade class and two students from each middle school grade (6-8) are selected for their exceptional character. Honorees are invited to a Board Meeting, where teachers, staff, and principals join families in celebrating their achievements. A staff member shares highlights about each student’s impact, and awardees receive an engraved FVSD coin, a framed certificate, and—at the elementary level—a custom plush mascot.
Through this tradition, FVSD shines a light on students who inspire others, fostering a culture of kindness,
resilience, and leadership across our schools.!"
