Future Educators have been active.

The Future Educators Association at OHS and in Weber has been very busy this year.  They have participated in "Read for the Record", led activities at Halloween for elementary students and participated in WSU's FEA Conference.

They have lots of other activities planned for second semester.  Thanks go to Suzy Davis (OHS), Joan Iverson (Weber) and Stephanie Heath (WSU).
