Congratulations to Cort Westerfeld for receiving this week's "Reading Rockstar of the Week" recognition! Cort personifies what a respectful and responsible 6th grader should strive to be. I appreciate his dedication to hard work. Congratulations, Cort!

Congratulations to Arya Lewis! I appreciate very much the patience, kindness, and hard work that Arya demonstrates both in and out of the classroom. Great job, Arya!

After studying planets in our solar system, Mrs. Ariens' Science students created Alien models and passports. They researched a planet in our solar system and created an alien with adaptations to live on that planet. Projects were literally "Out of This World"! Alien models are currently on display in front of the school office.

The Academic Team participated in a meet Wednesday night. The science team placed first over all the other teams! This week's team was Adam Lee--captain, Dane Brougher, Cora Troyer, Clara Lienesch, and Natalee Campbell. The math, Language Arts, social studies, and the all-around teams did well also, but congratulations to the science team for representing FCMS at the highest point! The team will have its last meet of the year on March 4.

Dear Parents, Guardians, and FCMS Supporters:

As you probably know, we are selling Little Caesars Pizza Kits to raise money for our FCMS incentive program. They are convenient and delicious--perfect to have on hand for busy days. Due to the snow, we fear we will not sell anywhere near the amount we need to sell to take the kids roller skating for the third quarter incentive. So if you haven't purchased anything yet, please do so now! Feel free to share the link with your nearby friends and family as well. We have extended our fundraiser due to the snow: online orders will now be due by February 15th, and fundraiser forms and cash/checks will be due to Mrs. Noah, Mrs. Ferman, Mrs. Brown, or Mr. Sherwood by Wednesday, February 11th.

Click here Order Little Caesars Pizza Kits to order today. It’s easy and only takes a few minutes to order, and you can pay by credit card right here. Help us support our FCMS kids and their hard work!!!

Thank you so much for your help!

Mrs. Noah and Mrs. Ferman
