Hello Frida the Therapy Dog here and I would just like to share with your our positive behavior for the month in the video. Great job doing good things at school and being recognized by your teachers! Video here ---> https://www.canva.com/design/DAG7UvXLmmo/YJwAn_7Q24Lhdvmov8c10Q/watch
Also here are two pictures of my friends reading logs - Miss Rachael who has read and logged for 68 days straight and Miss Lina who has read and logged for 47 days straight! Bow-wowza these girls are reading so much! Good job Rachael and Lina! Many students are also doing lots of reading that I didn't mention but these two are my friends and I like seeing what my friends are reading. Love, Frida
Next week we will be having some fun Holiday spirit days each day and a Winter Social on Friday, Dec. 19th for a portion of the day. These days help students stay motivated to want to come and enjoy our last week before break with their friends and teachers. Check out the flyer for details!
8th graders--- Those entering high school next year- Are you interested in Color Guard? You have an opportunity to check it out and try the Winter Program! You can participate and practice and learn what it is all about before you get to high school! This is open to all students in grades 8-12. No audition required.

Thank you to the St. Francois Co. Ambulance District for making our day of learning possible at FMS! Ms. Little and Mrs. Hennrich's Sports Medicine and Bio-Medical classes were able to spend the afternoon doing hands-on learning and training from our community members. Students were engaged and learning practical skills and career information. See Video here: https://www.canva.com/design/DAG6jOEncJE/DHhikHxSwOeB2xKXcAEI2A/watch

There will be no school today for the Farmington R-7 School District due to inclement weather. Please stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the extra time at home. Snow Day #1
Today’s announcement features the first student-created Snow Day design from our Grades 5–12 Snow Day Design Challenge! We’ll be sharing the top student submissions each time school is canceled this winter, and we can’t wait for you to see the creativity our Knights have put into their artwork.
To make the morning a little brighter, we’re also sharing a few snapshots of student art projects from around the district. Our classrooms have been busy this semester, and this is a great chance to celebrate the talent of our students while you enjoy an unexpected day off.
Stay cozy, Knights, and we’ll see you soon!

Did you know your child is participating in Read to Feed and helping donate flocks of chickens to people in need for Heifer International by logging their minutes on Beanstack? Your student can get the Beanstack Tracker app and sign in with their school account on their phone or log minutes of reading at home on their Chromebook too! Heifer International gives away sustainable sources of food like chickens, pigs, cows, bees, water buffalo (yes water buffalo!) and more to people in need across America and the world. All your child has to do to participate is read and log minutes. 2000 minutes logged = one flock of chickens you sponsor. See details in the Beanstack App.
Here are some learning activities about Heifer International your child can also do to earn tickets in Beanstack for prizes from our Beanstack Room. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1L8p3fJpFmeL2u4t-rnOFH1Cv483Z48RedpS2QCZ-YTg/edit?usp=drive_link
