FLM Parents & Guardians:

Our first semester was a huge success! Thank you for your support in helping students get adjusted to the routines, procedures, and expectations for a great year of learning. We were happy to welcome our parents and guests back on campus for our Storybook Character/Alphabet Parades and Christmas Programs this semester. Everyone had a great time during the holiday season with the different activities including a visit from the Elf on the Shelf, the Grinch, and Santa Claus. The Faculty and Staff at FLM works hard to provide opportunities that make learning fun and memorable during the students' primary years while providing quality instruction. Our campus focus has been on improving every students' literacy and math skills. We will continue this work during the second semester and with your support, help our students meet a high level of academic success!
