Falcon Footnotes
March 29, 2024
I want to give a shout out to Ms. Barker and all of the kids who participated in this year’s Battle of the Books. This was the event’s 26th year! It is always great to see so many kids and families at an event that encourages and celebrates reading. All 26 of FMS’s participants had a great time and represented FMS well.
Next week is Taste the Rainbow Week!
Food service is ordering several different kinds of fruits and veggies for the students to select from during lunch and there will be some available in the cafeteria as well for those students who have home lunch. We are going to try and have as many kids and staff dress in the color of the day. This is designed to encourage students to try different kinds of fruits and vegetables.

Could Your Child Benefit from Mentoring?
When it comes to our children's future, we’re in this together. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bath/Brunswick pairs screened positive mentors with youth to create a community where all children achieve success.
We offer school-based mentoring, in which your child is matched with a trained adult volunteer who meets with them weekly at their school for lunch and recess.
We also offer community-based mentoring, in which your child and their Big meet to do fun things together on a schedule that works for them.
All our programs are free!
Contact Ms. DeRosa sderosa@rsu1.org for more information or visit bbbsbathbrunswick.org.
