🎉 Hat or PJ Day! 🎉
Wednesday, October 1st, bring $1 and wear your favorite hat or comfy PJs!
All money raised will go to support an FMS family during this time. 💛
At FMS, we’re more than a school — we’re a family, and we’ve got each other’s back! 💪✨
We were honored to have a guest speaker visit 7th grade English classes on Thursday. M. Reding Shonka, author of the Iowa chapter in the book The Haunted States of America came to FMS. She shared her experiences as an author, read her story "The Angel of Death," and took questions from the students. She led students in Writing/Grammar classes through some writing activities, as well. The biggest takeaway M. left us with? Failing is part of life, but when you face failure and rejection, don't give up your dreams.... TRY AGAIN!
Fairfield Middle School Families,
We will be kicking off our school fundraiser on Monday, September 29. The students are allowed to use their phones if they have one. If not, they can use their iPads. However, to get registered they will need a phone number.
We will be getting all the students registered and set up for the fundraiser and if we have time, have them enter 5 contacts and reach out to ask for support. If you have a list of friends/family they can reach out to you may send it with your students on Monday. On Monday we will send you an email with more information to continue the fundraiser. We wanted to let you know that it is coming! Have a great weekend!
