THIS WEEK'S NEWS FROM MR. U & THE FMS HSA
|
|
Spring Conferences are this Wednesday and Thursday. This is a wonderful opportunity to check in with your student(s)' teachers and strengthen the partnership between your home and our school.
|
|
|
Students will have a 12:18 pm dismissal on Wednesday and Thursday as a result of the conferences. Wednesday conferences will run from 2:30-6:30 pm with teachers having their break from 4:15-4:45 pm. Thursday conferences will run from 1:00-5:00 pm with teachers having their break from 2:45-3:15 pm. We look forward to seeing you there.
This week we are celebrating our “All In Week” at FMS as part of our effort to create a school environment that is safe, welcoming, and accepting for every student and adult that is a member of our community. As part of this week, each FMS homeroom will be creating a symbol of tolerance, kindness, and compassion that they post on their doors this Friday. In addition, the week will be culminating with an inspirational assembly sponsored by the MEF featuring former Penn State wrestler, American Paralympian, and motivational speaker, Rohan Murphy.
Enjoy your Sunday and have a great week.
In partnership,
Mr. Uglialoro

Please check this link (also found on the homepage of the Morris School District’s website) regularly for updated information about upcoming programs:
|
|
Gather all those Box Tops you’ve been saving and send them in!
Please put them in a Ziploc bag and write your child's Homeroom teacher on the bag.
|
|
|
Have your student drop the Ziploc bag in the black Box Tops mailbox outside the main office. This is an easy fundraiser for FMS and a great way to raise money for our students! Please continue to clip Box Tops from the products you buy each week because we collect all year.
Also, register your ShopRite Price Plus club card and select FMS. Any time you buy participating products at ShopRite using your Price Plus card during the advertised times, box top earnings will automatically be awarded to FMS!
We will keep you posted on our progress throughout the school year so you can see how you are making a difference. Thank you for your continued support!
|
|
Recycle your old cell phones and ink/laser cartridges from home or work. There is a collection box in the main office all year long and FMS-HSA will receive cash, which will go towards HSA sponsored programs for our kids.
