It's been a busy week at FMS with lots of fun, too! We have celebrated Red Ribbon Week with lessons in Trojan Time and a coloring contest. We had our monthly Trojan PRIDE assembly where we were able to celebrate our Student of the Month and Principal's Award winners from each grade and have a special guest, Cam Cooksey, to share his experiences growing up with peer pressure and learning to say no to others to say yes to himself. Finally, we got to enjoy some Halloween fun today!
A huge THANK YOU to our student leaders who make so much of this happen! From leading our assemblies, to setting up and cleaning up, to being leaders in our building, we couldn't have fun like this without you!
