CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. ROBINETTE BEING NAMED TEACHER OF THE MONTH
THE STUDENTS VOTED MR. ROBINETTE TEACHER OF THE MONTH…..HERE’S WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY:
“Mr. Robinette, you are a great teacher, and you inspire students every day. You get students excited every day for school and you're always about other people and integrity. Thank you so much for being at FMS. We all know Mr. Robinette, whether it's from science class or as a coworker, but we all know the kindness in his heart is bigger than any chemical reaction there is.
He is funny and makes sure we stay focused on classwork while telling stories to keep us intrigued. This quote reminds us of everything Mr. Robinette stands for: "The secret to doing anything is believing you can do it. Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can do. Anything, as long as you believe." - Bob Ross. Thank you, Mr. Robinette for being an amazing teacher.
***Students are to hear the “Dangers of Fentanyl” Presentation from Laura and Chris Didier on Wednesday, February 16th. Many of our parents joined the presentation by the Didier’s on the evening of January 25th.
This message is very important for our students and the Didier’s have graciously agreed to do the presentation for them in an online format. Our hope is that all students will be educated on the dangers and prevented from experiencing the perils in their future. If you have any questions regarding the presentation, please feel free to contact Dr. Daniels at tdaniels@fcusd.org
For your reference we are, again, including the video here for your review:
