In the past year, we’ve made great strides in making our library book collection more reflect our student population. Please help the library continue to expand their selection. If you’d like to buy a book (or books!) for the Finn Hill library, go to our gift registry at: https://www.amazon.com/registries/custom/2FVS1GUX6EIZJ/guest-view

Books can be purchased and sent directly to Finn Hill. If you have any questions, please contact Peter Strong at pestrong@lwsd.org.

We had five (5) confirmed positive COVID-19 case(s) at our school this week. Families of close contacts have already been, or will be, contacted regarding these positive cases. For privacy concerns, please do not email or call the school or district asking about which classes are impacted because we cannot give out that information.

To honor those 8th graders departing from our community as a student body, we will hold the first annual Finn Hill Clap Out on June 15 beginning at 1:20 pm.

Approximately 15 minutes before the rest of the school is dismissed, eighth graders will depart the gym and will leave together in one long line. The rest of the school's students will gather along the main hallways to "clap out" the 8th graders.

The 8th grade students, led by the principal, AP, and the 8th grade teachers, will walk each hallway one last time through our line of clapping students. The parade ends in the front of the school as 8th grade students exit the front doors. 6th and 7th grade students will return to their classrooms at the completion of the clap out so they can be dismissed by their sixth period teachers.

Parents of 8th graders are welcome to join the clap out outside of the building in front of the school. Look for more information to come about additional parking!

Yearbooks will be back on sale starting Monday, May 23, 2022, until Friday, June 10, 2022. The cost is $35.00 and can be purchased online or at the cash register window with check or cash. If you are using a check, please make it out to FHMS. If you are unsure if you have purchased a yearbook this year, please email me at sstephens@lwsd.org and I will check and let you know.
