Fantastic job and a big THANK YOU to our FMS Trojans Live guest speakers this week. Our focus was on service to our community and our guests, community member (and substitute teacher!) Rachel Brown and high school students Christian Rasmussen and Faeven Gebremariam, did a wonderful job sharing about how serving the community around them serves themselves just as much as others.
Thank you for taking some time to speak with our students!

Dear FMS Families,
Please remember that conferences are coming up on Monday, March 2! As we have done in the past, spring conferences will be for student-led conferences! We have worked hard this year to improve the quality of our student portfolios and look forward to having your student share these with you.
5th grade families - please sign up with your student's HOMEROOM teacher.
6th-8th grade families - please sign up with your student's Trojan Time teacher. If their Trojan Time teacher is not listed, they were assigned another adult to present to.

We also know that you may want to see some of your student's other teachers to discuss concerns. We will open up time slots for these next week on Wednesday, February 25. Please refrain from signing up for extra conferences until that time to allow parents the ability to schedule their student-led conferences.

The 5th graders in Social Studies are currently studying about the causes of the American Revolution. They got to role play with having a king and queen and assigning taxes to the colonists. Students had fun protesting the different taxes they didn't feel were right. They got to see what it was like to be told what to do by the king and parliament. Some chose to pay the tax and follow the "king's rules" while others found out what would happen to them if they didn't pay. This all led to the founding of our country.

Thank you!
A big THANK YOU to Ben of Brown's Shoe Fit of Fairfield for spending some time answering questions at our monthly Trojans Live event. He gave great insight to our students about managing a business, changing course in life, values and skills needed in the work force, and balancing work with family.
Great job to our hosts, Aron and Malachi, our security team, and our students for their thoughtful questions and respectful listening!
See you back next month for Trojans Live!
