Homecoming wrap-up!

Huskies sweep the nation this year! Freshmen took us to New Orleans, taking third place in the lip sync show. Sophomores, this year's first place winner in lip sync and the spirit stick, took us to New York City with a fantastic performance. Juniors took us down south to Los Angeles with second place in lip sync and in cheer! Our Seniors took first in cheer this year but last in lip sync when they took us all the way to Nashville! Great job on the performance guys!

Follow up on powderpuff: Juniors win this year with a last-minute touchdown made by Jenna Christensen! Congratulations to the juniors and the seniors on a nice game!

The Homecoming football game went fantastic as well. Huskie varsity team took the win with the score 34-14. The band put on a spectacular field show where they got in a giant F and played the song “Let it go” from the disney movie, Frozen. A little boy marched out with the marching band and even got to play with the marching band during the song with a current band student, me, Layla Dias.

Husky Leaders Have Fun!

The Californias Association of Student Leaders (CACL) presented  Leadership Development Day, a workshop day at Fortuna Union High School on September 14th  to train five high schools leadership teams excellent leadership skills. Brody Kaster, the CALC representative was a upbeat, exciting leadership trainer.

FUHS leadership students lead all the games and activities after being trained that morning quickly. Students from all clubs in the five high schools came out to join in the activities.

One of the topics at the Leadership Development Day was that the average school has only fourteen percent involvement in their after school event. Zoe, a junior at Fortuna Union High School and a FFA officer, was one of our many club members. She said “...that we need to get more people involved in our school activities. If you really think about it our school has a low percentage of involvement.”

Leadership is a really great way to get out in our community and get involved. Zoe said that she would recommend leadership to any incoming freshman or student who is interested because it makes your high school experience exciting!
