dismissal for the middle school students. 1/03/08 Happy New Year!
I hope that you had a chance to relax and enjoy time with family and friends
over the holiday season. We had a nice
surprise yesterday when Lance Corporal Curt Smalligan stopped in for a short
visit before going back to The injured student underwent successful surgery
yesterday and is now recuperating at home.
Thanks to those who expressed concern for him. 12/18/07
We have a young man who will be undergoing
surgery after the first of the year due to an injury when he and another
student collided in the bus parking lot.
We want everyone to be safe, so we ask that students not run around
and/or throw snowballs. Although a snowball was thrown in this incident, that
did not cause the injury. However, we
do follow the handbook rules of an automatic after school detention for
throwing snowballs. On a positive note, the band, orchestra and choir
concerts were fantastic! All concerts
were well attended. On Sunday, the
choir concert was standing room only.
How great it is to see the support of parents and grandparents. Thank you to our talented musicians and
their leaders – Mr. Breza, Mrs. Whittle and Mrs. Homsher. Thank you, too, for the community support of Mr.
Terry Grabill and his family after the loss of their home. The family is overwhelmed with the
financial and emotional support after their house burned down. It is a blessing to live in a community
that helps others in time of need. We will return to the notes after Christmas
break. To all of you, have a blessed
Christmas season. 12/14/07 We just completed a lock-down drill in
cooperation with the Fremont Police Department. As you know, by law we must run practice
drills during the school year. The
next time, the drill will be during an unstructured time – ie.,
before school, during rec time or in between class
times. 12/04/07 Please mark your calendars now for the upcoming
Middle School/High School Christmas music programs at the Orchestra Concert -- Wednesday, December 12 at
7:00 p.m. Band Concert – Thursday, December 13 at 7:00 p.m. Choir Program – Sunday, December 16 at 3:00 p.m. 11/30/2007 Hopefully your son or daughter brought home a letter
on Wednesday regarding the successful drug search, In
case they didn't, I have posted the letter. As you know, one of our priorities at FMS is to
have a drug-free environment. Each year I schedule a lock-down drug search
with the Newaygo County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit. (Students and staff do not have advance
notice of the search). I was present the entire time with Deputy Green and
Turbo (the drug dog), along with Officers Hendrie
and Johnson. I am pleased to report that no drugs were found. On the locker that Turbo “hit on”, the
culprit was Axe body spray! While I am
grateful for the results, I also realize that we must continue to monitor our
school. On another note, before Christmas vacation I have
scheduled a lock down practice drill to comply with state mandate. During
this drill classroom instruction will cease and students are required to
remain silent. Again, you will receive
notice after the practice drill in December has been completed. As the holidays approach, we have many
opportunities to help others in need. Our Leo Club (Young Lions) has
set a goal of collecting 100 pair of used eyeglasses by December 15. If
you have extra glasses, please consider bringing them to our office. |
