We still have another community event tomorrow from 9 to 11 if you'd like to join us!

Information on the Challenger League registration!


In the nursery rhyme criminal justice system, citizens are represented by two separate yet equally ridiculous groups: the nursery rhyme police who investigate nursery rhyme crime, and the nursery rhyme district attorneys who prosecute the nursery rhyme offenders. These are their stories.
With a cast and crew of 60 students, this crazy episode of Law & Order is played out with famous nursery rhyme characters from childhood. 2 shows only: Thursday and Friday, March 2 & 3, at 7:00pm in the FMS Cafetorium. Admission is $3; activity passes get in free. Don't miss it!


Congratulations to these principal award recipients for the month of February. We are proud of you!


What a blast! Roller skating for fifth graders at Wellman Skating Rink!




Our HS leaders did an amazing job this week providing guidance to our 5th-8th graders on PBIS, high school things to look forward to, bullying, managing time, involvement in activities, and peer pressure. Love this time with our HS students and watching them grow up! Such a positive experience! ❤️




Check this out! Ryelan and Ireland created their own script for a commercial today highlighting things at FMS. This will air on the Ottumwa Radio website through the month of March. So proud of these students! Can't wait to see it🎥
