Friendly Friday Update

The weekly newsletter for the FHMS Community - 12/1/23

Mr. Hiti's Message

Some of our 5th and 6th grade students participated in Lunch & Learn this week! This is a three session extension opportunity that meets during lunch and recess. This fall our Lunch & Learn is themed around art. On Wednesday, students learned the engineering behind kaleidoscopes and then made their very own to take home. Next week, students will learn about the art of weaving and will make their own mini tapestry. The third session will be all about the art of trading cards. Lunch & Learn sessions are sponsored by The Friends of Wescott Library in Eagan. The fall sessions are full, but there will be another opportunity for Lunch & Learn this spring!
