Leave a comment
Fort Scott High School Thespians from its Facebook page  Back row: Charlie Chaplin, Kaiden Clary, Junie Fisher, Ava Johnson, Angie Bin, Brooke Barnett, Emma Bin, Kate Morillo Front: Tobi Larrabee, Emily Endicott, Allie Wards, Cooper George, Chris Newman, Emi King.

The Fort Scott High School Thespians are hosting their 7th Annual Royal-Tea and Friends Party this Saturday, October 12 from 10 a.m. to noon at the FSHS Commons area and Courtyard.

“This is an annual fundraiser for the FSHS Thespian Troupe,” said teacher Angela Bin. “Many students play their chosen character throughout high school and some pass their character on to an underclassman when they graduate.”

The thespian students provide a snack, activity or craft and dress as their chosen character.

“We also have costumes that the children who attend can dress up in if they choose to,” Bin said.

In this land of make-believe children can join their favorite princesses and princes, queens and kings and other members of the royal court.

They are invited to take photos with favorite characters as they make crafts, have treats and play games.

Over 30 FSHS Thespians will be dressed in character and lead the event.

New this year is the inclusion of superheroes, villains and other cartoon characters.

Attendees are encouraged to come in costume as well.

Tickets for this special event are $5 per child and must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets may be purchased online in advance at fortscotthighschool.ludus.com or at the door.

Featured characters are the stars of the FSHS Fall Musical – Frozen Jr.

They include Junie Fisher as Elsa, Chris Newman as Anna, Theodore Bowman as Olaf, and Mykael Lewis as Kristoff.

FSHS performs Frozen Jr. on Nov. 12 and 14 at 7 p.m. and on Nov. 16 at 2 and 7 p.m.

For more information, please see the Fort Scott High School Thespians Facebook page or contact Angie Bin at [email protected] or 620-719-9622.

On behalf of the USD 234 School District, we would like to invite you to the 2024 Early Childhood Trunk-or-Treat.  This year’s event will be held on Wednesday, October 30 from 4:30-6:00 PM at the Fort Scott Preschool Center Gym.  All children ages birth through six years old and their families are invited to attend. Last year, school staff and community partners were able to connect with 205 children and their families at our Trunk-or-Treat.

 

If you are a family resource provider or a community partner, we invite you to attend and set up a table from which children can trick-or-treat.  Agencies typically pass out snacks, candy, trinkets, small prizes, etc.  During this time, you may also provide brochures, resources, and/or helpful information related to your program.  Our goal is to inform families about the resources available in our community.

Bus Incident Explained by School Superintendent

1 Comment
PRESS RELEASE submitted by Destry Brown, Superintendent of USD 234 School District.

Yesterday, October 3rd, as our 8th grade students were returning from Kansas City from a field trip, one of our buses had an inside dual tire blow out just south of Louisburg, KS on US 69 Highway.
After consulting with district staff, the decision was made to continue to drive the bus toward home at a reduced speed.

As the bus approached the exit at Prescott, KS, the driver of a school van that was following the bus noticed smoke coming from the tire. The driver of the van drove up to the bus and signaled for them pull over.

The students on the bus were evacuated with the assistance of the teachers. After evacuating the bus, students hurried down the highway ramp and headed to the convenience store located at the
Prescott, KS exit.

After the students had cleared, the driver attempted to put the fire that had developed around the tire area out using the fire extinguisher on the bus. This proved to be unsuccessful. The fire
began spread to the inside of the bus and eventually engulfed the entire bus.
The students were near the convenience store when the fire began to spread inside the bus. The bus was a total loss.

Students entered the convenience store and were provided drinks by the store clerk.
The Linn County Fire Department, the Kansas Highway Patrol, and Linn County EMS responded to the scene and one student was treated and released at the scene for minor smoke inhalation.

Another bus from Fort Scott arrived at the convenience store around 3:45 p.m. and loaded the 32 students and staff for the return trip home.
All students arrived at Fort Scott Middle School and
were picked up by their parents and went home by 5:00 p.m.

The district will begin an internal investigation of the incident next week and will determine what policies and procedures need to be in place in the future, so another incident of this type does not happen again. A full report of the investigation will be provided to the board of education at the conclusion of the investigation.

We are proud of our students and staff who responded calmly and quickly during this event. We are thankful that our students and staff were returned home safely.
  The safety of our students is our top priority, and the district is committed to doing whatever is necessary to ensure our
students are safe while attending school as well as events that occur outside of school.
