FCMS EXPRESS

As the school year comes to an end, I would like to thank you for helping build strong bridges between our families and our school. As I have shared before, the middle school years are often some of the most challenging times in our students’ lives and sometimes for parents as well.

This year, we have made great strides in our students’ ability to handle difficult situations while also achieving strong state assessment scores. I understand that school is about much more than what is taught each day in the classroom. It is about relationships, personal growth, and learning how to navigate challenges with confidence and resilience. These lifelong lessons will serve our students well far beyond middle school.

As we begin our summer break, I would like to recognize Mrs. Mitchum and Mr. Stacy, who will be retiring at the end of this school year. Mrs. Mitchum’s 32 years of service and Mr. Stacy’s 37 years of dedication have both made a positive impact on the lives of thousands of students. Their commitment, care, and influence on our school community will not be replaced and they will be greatly missed. We thank them for their many years of service to FCMS and wish them the very best in their retirement.

Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and partnership throughout the year. Together, we are helping our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally into successful young adults. I hope each of you has a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer. We look forward to welcoming back our current 6th and 7th grade students next school year.and wish our 8th grade a successful start to their high school years.

--Trent Liggett, FCMS Principal

Current 5th grade BES students visited FCMS on Monday. Mrs. Ratz started off the visit with general information for the incoming 6th graders, and current 6th graders showed them around the school and introduced them to teachers and staff members.

The 6th grade students experienced some amazing chemical reaction experiments!

They recorded data sheets with key words such as Magnetism, flammability, electricity, and odor.

They also had to determine whether or not their was a catalyst in each experiment!

They all had great fun!

Seventh grade science students worked on cell model projects to learn organelle functions of an eukaryotic cell.

Future Freshmen met with their high school MCatz on Tuesday. MCatz act as a mentor and guide to help freshmen through their first year of high school.

Congratulations to our former FCMS students who are graduating this year! We are so proud of you!
