We would like to recognize students with above and beyond positive behavior. Teachers have special awards they submit to the office when they catch something special students do and our assistant principal Mrs. Shumock & our principal Mr. Jenkerson award the students for their positive behavior. We will continue to share these shout outs throughout the year. Way to go FMS! Here is the video link to the student pictures: https://canva.link/hg8bal57wxbwm7r

Character Council went to school! They had a back to school team building session last weekend to become familiar with the building, learn the "ins and outs" of middle school, and get to know one another to be prepared for our 2026-2027 year. See some pics of their adventures here. Ms. Stratton and Mrs. Clary gave them fun challenges to work together and build connections and character!

🐄✨ EAT MOR CHIKIN! ✨🐄
TRIVIA: Chick-fil-A is the world's largest purchaser of what food item (it's not what you think)?
Our 7th and 8th graders had an incredible, behind-the-scenes field trip to Chick-fil-A this morning! They got an exclusive look at what it takes to run one of the busiest kitchens around, rotating through three awesome interactive stations:
Station 1: The Business Blueprint 📊
Students dove into the history of the company and learned the ins and outs of what it really takes to operate a successful restaurant. They also learned the answer to the trivia question. Future entrepreneurs in the making!
Station 2: The Breakfast Rush 🥐
They took a tour of the kitchen right in the middle of the morning hustle! The best part? They got to taste-test the fresh biscuits they actually made.
Station 3: Quality Control 🍗
Our students learned about the strict quality assessment standards that keep the food so delicious—and wrapped it up with a final taste test of the iconic chicken sandwich.
Huge thanks to Ken Reeder and the amazing team at Chick-fil-A for hosting us, sharing your knowledge, and feeding our crew! Reeder went from working at Chick-fil-A at 15 years old to being the owner of the Farmington location. His group including Courtney Reeder, Caitlyn Walker and Jessica DePew were outstanding!
And do you some inside info on how to get some free food? 🤫 Breakfast tomorrow morning is on CFA! Every Tuesday in June, 2026 from 6:30-10:30am CST they offer a free Mystery Breakfast and all you need to do is request the item when placing your order! Only valid at Chick-fil-A Farmington and just be sure to mention the mystery breakfast promo at time of order.❤️
Oh, and the answer to the trivia question? Lemons. CFA utilizes over 250 million to 300 million lemons annually to produce their signature lemonade. Huh! Who knew?!?

🏡✨ History in our own backyard! ✨🏡
Today, our history books came to life as the 4th-grade class took a step back in time to visit some of the beautiful historic houses right here in the Farmington area including the McCormick House and the Morrison House!
From exploring colonial architecture to learning what daily life looked like hundreds of years ago, our students became real-life history detectives. They asked thoughtful questions, got a firsthand look at local heritage, and represented our school beautifully.
A huge thank you Mayor Morrison and family for allowing us to tour your home and to the amazing volunteers who welcomed us.
Take a look at a few moments from our historic adventure! 👇📸
