PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

The end of the school year is in sight. I know it is a busy time for everyone and we can lose sight of the current moment. There can be a lot of unidentified emotions with the kids as they get both excited for summer break, but also anxious about maybe not seeing as many friends.


Thank you to George McGinty and Christel Michaud and everyone who helped with pulling off both arts nights at FMS. It was so nice to see so many families able to come in to see and hear the hard and wonderful work the students have created. As always, I am impressed with both the visual and performing arts the students create.


TRANSPORTATION FORM REMINDER:

We DO NOT carry forward transportation plans from year to year. This information is collected now so we can plan for next year accordingly.

Maine DOE has launched a new Maine Outdoor Learning Initiative portal to help families easily access available programs and identify opportunities for their children to participate. All programs are at no cost to families, include free transportation, and are designed for students who face economic or other barriers to experiencing high-quality outdoor learning experiences.
