What is FRYSC? Our Family Resource Youth Services Centers do so much for students, but many people don't quite know what they do! Here's a flyer they made to answer that question and provide you with contacts in case your student has any "non-academic" hurdles to jump in order to learn best! We are so thankful for our FRYSCs going above and beyond for our students! #BelieveInGC
