The first Friday in May is School Lunch Hero Day, dedicated to those men and women who make the cafeterias and the schools a better place to be! What was your favorite school lunch? Do you remember the smiling face who served it to you?
#SchoolLunchHeroDay
For many children, the cafeteria is the first place they enter on a school day. From the first time through the cafeteria line, the lunch hero has more than nutrition on their minds. The well-being of every child is important to them. Keeping them safe, happy, and providing them with good and delicious food is also a priority.
FHS Staff treated our Lunch Heroes to BBQ packs for all of their hard work!

Positivity Project: Theme of the Week: Enthusiasm
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Enthusiasm. Enthusiasm means you approach life with excitement and energy. You energize people around you.
Enthusiasm is the ability to bring life and excitement to different situations. It often leads to a higher level of involvement and engagement both for individuals and for groups. Those who demonstrate enthusiasm bring an energy and level of intensity to individual and group work. These people are often identified as early leaders and innovators as a result of their outward excitement about a task or project. Look for these people to recruit new group members and generate ideas.
For groups, enthusiasm can be directly tied to high levels of success, happiness, and achievement. Enthusiasm is contagious. One person’s enthusiasm can spark others to think, speak, and act with more energy and conviction. Groups that are enthusiastic about tasks are much more likely to spend longer periods of time in service to the group’s overall goals.
Positivity Project In Action - Kurt Vonnegut Quotes
Students in Mrs. Mulligan's American Studies Honors class have been studying Kurt Vonnegut. While Kurt Vonnegut is perhaps best known for his novel, Slaughterhouse-Five, he also penned everything from plays to short-stories to full-length non-fictions.
Drawing on his experiences of war, life, and love, he delivered powerful messages in creative quotes that have stood the test of time.
Given the fact that last week's Positivity Theme was: Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence, it seemed only fitting to show how these students illustrated Vonnegut's quotes in a beautiful way.

Online Protection for Children
Are your children safe while online? Michigan families, especially minors, are becoming inundated with advertisements from alcohol, tobacco, pornography, illegal drugs and gambling marketers through different internet and cell phone inboxes. To reduce these influences on youth, the State of Michigan offers a free program to stop adult advertisements from reaching e-mails, text messages, Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter. The Michigan Child Protection Registry, like the federal Do Not Call List, is a free do-not-contact service for Michigan’s families and can be located at www.ProtectMIChild.com."
