Gnome on the Roam at FHS
They came with a poem to each room they visited:
Tis the season for something new,
Gnome on the Roam has come to visit you!
The gnome came here,
To spread class cheer!
Have fun with a class selfie and then you must share,
That is. . . if you so dare!
But once you have been “gnomed” with some of the fun,
The gnome must roam and its back on the run!
Enclose this poem and something more,
And add the Gnome on the Roam picture to your door!
This past month students have been focusing on attendance. So far this school year, fifteen students have earned t-shirts for 30 days of attendance and eleven students have earned sweatshirts for 60 days of attendance. All of these students were also required to be passing 4 or more classes.
There are currently 31 students enrolled for the day program and 17 for night school.
Additionally, this month the Farwell Church of Christ Women’s Fellowship brought an assortment of candy and cookies for all students before their winter break.
Lastly, Michigan Works is helping several students with careers and employment options as they transition to career readiness and prepare of employment after graduation.
