*Pay It Forward – A student “free store” at Fostoria Jr/Sr High School, offering school supplies , clothing , hygiene items , snacks, and more for JSHS students. Coordinated by Mrs. Woodward and student volunteers, students can access items during open times or submit a request form.

Have a great day, and Go Redmen!"
