PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Happy Friday everyone!
We are holding a schoolwide assembly once a month. The date for the assembly coincides with our once a month spirit day Friday. This afternoon we celebrated student birthdays with our very own FMS happy birthday cheer, which the students learned today. We also learned the FMS Falcon Whoosh. This month’s school challenge focused on hallway and transitioning behaviors. All classrooms were awarded points for following expected behaviors. I want to give a shout out to Ms. Gagnon’s Third Grade, Ms. Heath’s Fourth Grade and Ms. Gerrish’s Fifth Grade classrooms for winning this month’s challenge. Next month’s challenge will be a food drive for the Bath Area Food Bank. More information about this challenge will be coming soon. Lastly, we have started to recognize students for our Three Pillar Award (for being Safe, Respectful & Responsible) and for Academic Achievement.
