We have planned a field trip to the Freeland SportsZone for our 7th grade students on Tuesday, April 8. The purpose of the field trip is to give our 7th grade students an up-close experience to Health and Wellness as well as some financial literacy from Junior Achievement on a day where our 8th grade students will be taking the PSAT in our building. The 7th grade students will be chaperoned by the 7th grade team of teachers. Buses will leave FMS at 9:00 am and return at 2:00 pm. Please have your student bring a water bottle, dress in active wear, and wear closed toed shoes.

Please complete the form regardless of whether or not your student can attend. We want to account for all of our 7th graders. If you have more than one child in 7th grade, please complete a form for EACH child. We requested that parents completed this form no later than Friday, March 21, 2025 but there are still many parents who have not filled this out as of today. We would like to get a solid headcount for lunches and buses.

Our Student Leadership classes are putting on a Spring Coyer Candle Fundraiser. Students are selling candles, air fresheners and wax melts in person and also online, which is a new feature! Money made from this fundraiser will help students attend conferences to help them grow as leaders, plan fun events for all students at FMS, and so much more! The last day to place your order is April 14th. If you have any questions, please email Hannah Freel. Thank you for your consideration and support!
