| Pictured are Alicia Rhodes and Anna
Dignman who were among the many students who learned about the value and
importance of the Dakin Animal Shelter. The students created posters about
the animal shelter, arranged the tables and scarves, greeted customers,
and worked as a cashier for the initial fund-raising activity.

hand knitted and donated by Charlotte Choleva. A huge thank you from
everyone at FCTS for her generosity and wonderful skills!

Animal Shelter.

| The PEP program is a unique,
tuition based program designed for students with cognitive challenges. This
small, but effective program works with students on many educational and
independent living skills. Academic skills such as reading, math and critical
thinking are practiced daily. Life skills such as cooking and laundry, and
shop trade skills such as auto detailing, recycling processing, and office
technology are some of the employment skills that offer our students a better
chance toward future independent living and job placement.
