Flashback Friday! Where are they now?! This 1999 FTSD graduate, Summer Edwards, is currently an Evaluation Coordinator at Pyramid Model Consortium. Some highlights of Summer’s experiences since graduating from FTSD include graduating from UNC Greensboro in Psychology! Summer then became a Director of Services for agencies supporting individuals with intellectual disabilities and mental health needs. Later, Summer transitioned into data analysis and professional project management in the nonprofit sector. She now works in the Early Childhood arena providing evaluation and database support to professionals all over the US from her home right here in Frenchtown! When asked about what she loved about Frenchtown, she replied, “So many things!” According to Summer, playing sports was a highlight and she reflects fondly on the many incredible teachers at FTSD, from grade school to high school. She says she will still talk about the amazing desserts the lunch team would make, and her kids laugh when she goes on and on about the chocolate cookies! Summer, what advice would you give the current students of Frenchtown? “Work hard and think big! Explore a wide range of interests and professions. Join a group, club or team to connect with like-minded people. Allow yourself to be challenged, lean into the uncomfortableness of not always knowing what is right. Listen to your teachers and take in as much wisdom as they are willing to offer you, which is A LOT! Be patient with yourself as you continue to grow and discover your passions.” Great advice for all of us. Thanks for participating Summer!

FMS 7th graders enjoyed a presentation from wildlife biologist Jody Tucker who works for the National Forest Service in Missoula. Ms. Tucker shared her field research with fishers in the Sierra Nevada and students were able to see first hand how ecology, limiting factors, carrying capacity and climate change are affecting the populations of these animals that are also found in our own area. Ms. Tucker shared research tools and techniques and explained how radio collars, trail cameras and genetic analysis are transforming wildlife research. This was a fun and informative wrap up of our Ecology Unit in 7th grade science. Thank you, Ms. Tucker, for taking time out of your week to come and share with us!! You may have inspired the next generation of biologists!
