🌯 Need an excuse to grab Chipotle this Saturday? We've got one! ❤️

Kingdom Life / Project Good is the incredible organization that provides our Friday Weekend Bags each year, helping ensure many of our FCMS students and families have food and support when they need it most.

We truly couldn't be more grateful for everything they do for our school community.

This Saturday, September 12, from 4:00–8:00 PM, stop by the Forest Hill Chipotle and enjoy a meal while supporting a great cause. 25% of event sales will be donated back to Project Good Inc.

🌯 Forest Hill Chipotle

🏗️ How tall can you build?

Our 7th and 8th grade students put their teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving skills to the test with a "Build the Tallest Tower" challenge!

The catch? 🤔
❌ No tape.
❌ No glue.
❌ No supports.

Just teamwork, strategy, and determination!

🎉 Congratulations to three of our 8th grade students, who built the tallest tower of the day, reaching an impressive 39 inches! 👏🐾

Way to think outside the box and work together, Panthers!

Good evening Panthers,

This is a warm reminder to encourage all FCMS middle school parents and families to join us for Back to School Night tomorrow evening from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM! This is a wonderful opportunity to meet our dedicated teachers, explore our classrooms, and learn more about our school community. We look forward to seeing you there and partnering together for a successful school year!

There will also be an opportunity to participate in the FCMS Community Engagement Survey hosted by our School Counseling Department. Share your thoughts and help us make our school and community stronger! We want to learn more about what families might need and what we can do to build a stronger school community. Your voice & input matters! And as an added bonus PBIS will provide one FLEX Block class for each grade level the chance to win tickets to the upcoming school dance, based on the level of family engagement in the survey.

In addition to meeting our teachers and building a stronger school community, we will also conduct our Title I Annual Meeting.

Thank You, and See You Tomorrow!
