A heartfelt "thank you" goes out to varsity basketball coach Thom Loomis as he steps down from his coaching position. Thank you, coach, for all you have done for our basketball program over the years. Coach Loomis has been the varsity coach for the last seven years and was the JV coach when he returned to Fostoria in 2016. He was the assistant basketball coach for Fostoria from 1983-1987 and again in 1996-1997. We appreciate you and your years of service and dedication to the basketball program and to Fostoria City Schools.
Mr. Loomis will continue as the Athletic Director for FCS.

This school year, Fostoria Junior High School is collaborating in an intercultural exchange activity with the partner school: IESO La Falcata, in Villafranca de los Caballeros, Toledo (Spain). 9th, 10th and 11th graders enjoyed chatting and exchanging cultural information with their penpals: they learnt about the different schedules in Spain, the time of difference between both countries; they introduced themselves and exchanged their hobbies and likes.
In a short time, the students will exchange letters with their penpals in Spain. We would like to thank the school for accepting this exchange cultural activity, and especially the Teacher Lucía Menchén Márquen and the Principal Rosa María Escalona Díaz-Mingo.
Este curso escolar, Fostoria Junior High School está colaborando en una actividad de intercambio intercultural con el centro asociado IESO La Falcata, en Villafranca de los Caballeros, Toledo (España). Los alumnos de 9º, 10º y 11º grado (3ESO, 4ESO y 1º Bachillerato) disfrutaron charlando e intercambiando información cultural con sus amigos por correspondencia: conocieron los diferentes horarios de España, la diferencia horaria entre ambos países, se presentaron e intercambiaron sus aficiones y gustos.
Dentro de poco, los alumnos intercambiarán cartas con sus amigos por correspondencia en España. Queremos agradecer al colegio la aceptación de esta actividad cultural de intercambio, y en especial a la Profesora Lucía Menchén Márquen y a la Directora Rosa María Escalona Díaz-Mingo.
