Once again, thank you to Ms. Michaud for leading the school in a sing-a-long to start off our assembly. Music is a great way to bring the school community together and fill the air with beauty. This month’s song, Rattlin’ Bog (an Irish Folk Song) really got the students and faculty engaged with clapping and foot stomping.

Congratulations to all of our FMS Academic, 3 Pillars, and Artist of the month winners!

This month’s Chain Reaction Challenge winners were also our Attendance Challenge winners. Coincidence, hmmmm, I wonder. Congratulations to Ms. Metrano’s, Ms. Sewall’s, and Mr. Hays’s classes!

Ms. Gagnon shared with the school this month’s challenge: Book Bingo! This is a literacy focused challenge for all of the students and it is already off to a great start. Ask your student about their Bing Card.

Our next Spirit Day Friday is April 4

The theme is Team Spirit

Dress to celebrate your favorite team, group or organization!

Here is the schedule for the entire year.

We are partnering with Hannaford Grocery Stores for the Hannaford Helps Schools program, running from March 16 to June 7! Through this program, shoppers will earn 3 School Dollars for every 4 participating products purchased. At checkout, customers will receive a School Dollar printout they can redeem online to donate to any school in this program.

To redeem School Dollars, all shoppers need to do is enter the unique printout code and store number on the Hannaford Helps Schools program website and select their school. Each School Dollar printout has a QR code that will bring shoppers directly to this link, ensuring that redeeming School Dollars is as easy as possible.

In person monthly meetings are back! Come and let the kids run off the mid-week wiggles with our babysitters, and help us finalize our spring plans! Next Wednesday, March 12 @ 6:00!

Kids Book Swap - March 22nd from 10:00am -12:00pm @ Fisher-Mitchell School.
