Friendly Friday Update

The weekly newsletter for the FHMS Community - 11/17/23

Mr. Hiti's Message

Now would be a great time to ask your son or daughter what types of books they are interested in, especially as we approach our upcoming breaks. Reading for enjoyment is an opportunity some of our students don’t often get because of their busy schedules and schoolwork. Plus, it is always fun to get a new book!

Congratulations to our 1st quarter honor roll students. We had 493 students meet the requirements for the honor roll, and they are well deserving of recognition. Students will get an honor roll medal for their first time, and a pin for the 2nd and 3rd time they are on the honor roll. We encourage our students to wear their medals, so our staff can recognize them and give them a well-deserved high five in the hallways and classrooms!
