A Note from the FMS Administrative Team
Dear FMS Families,
It's hard to believe that February is upon us! Second semester is off to a wonderful start for our students, who are working hard and persevering, in spite of the challenges they continue to face. As always, we appreciate the continued support that is provided at home! Effective partnerships between home and school are vital for reaching optimal levels of student success.
February is a busy month at FMS. Our eighth grade students will begin to work to formulate their schedules for high school, while our sixth and seventh grade students will finalize their elective choices for next year. We will also be hosting a Neon Mixer on Friday, February 24.
Please continue to reach out to us with questions or concerns that may arise. We are happy to support our FMS community in any way we can!
Sincerely,
Dr. Laura Rowe-Holler, Principal
Mrs. Amber Houdei, Assistant Principal (Sixth Grade)
Mr. Kevin Kuehl, Assistant Principal (Seventh Grade)
Mr. Adam Bender, Assistant Principal (Eighth Grade)
