FMS Key Clubbers Show “Spirit”

Fishburne Military School Key Club Gets In The “Spirit”

Waynesboro, VA –  Twenty members of the Fishburne Military School Key Club got into the spirit of the season on Saturday by volunteering their time at the Second Annual Waynesboro Public Library “Haunted Library”.

The Cadets loaned their talents in a number of ways in order to help make the event a success for area children. Some spent their evening made up as zombies and delivered friendly scares to any kids brave enough to enter the Haunted Maze constructed within the library. Others spent their time helping the youngest visitors with various Halloween-themed craft projects.

The event drew over 400 parents and children, nearly all dressed in their own Halloween costumes.

FMS Key Club Advisor, Mrs. Debbie Todd, noted “Obviously, our Cadets had a great time interacting with the local kids. The fact that they have already been invited back to participate in next year’s Haunted Library demonstrates what a great job they did and what a great impression they made on the organizers.”

Fishburne Military School is the oldest and smallest of all military schools for boys in Virginia. Its college-prep curriculum is built on the structure of an Army JROTC program. FMS has been designated as a JROTC Honor Unit with Distinction and may nominate qualified candidates to the United States Service Academies. Fishburne hosts one of only four Summer JROTC programs in the nation that is accredited by US Army Cadet Command.
