  ,

While the last month and a half of school did not go as we had planned, we are grateful to have been able to remain in contact with you and your children via phone, email, and private Facebook groups!  Learning and growing will continue in this last month of the 2019-2020 school year.  Our intrepid staff is working hard to provide your children with distance learning opportunities and I am so proud of our parents', students' and the staff's hard work!
 
We anxiously await the day when it is safe for students and staff to be together in person again.   We are weighing weekly updates from the state of Texas, the Dallas County Health Department, and guidance from the North Texas Conference of the United Methodist Church to determine if Summer Fun will be held in person or virtually.  Stay tuned for more information soon!

We are currently enrolling for the 2020-2021 school year!  Thank you for sharing your precious children with us.  It's not too late to enroll for the 2020-2021 school year!  Thank you to all the families who have already enrolled!  If you haven't enrolled yet, s ecure your spot today!
 
We love our families so much and truly appreciate when you tell others about us! Please click here for more information about the Referral Incentive we are offering to our current families. 
 
I pray you stay safe and healthy.  God Bless You!

Kindergarten learned about fractions!
Our four year olds learned about the letter X and the number 19!
Our three year olds learned about the parts of a plant!
The 2 year olds counted 9 hair bows, wrote the letter X in a bo"x" , & found the letter Z!
The one year olds identified flowers in their yards!

Teacher Appreciation Week

We can't celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4-8) in person this year, but you can still be a blessing to our staff!

Please consider making a donation through the FUMCD website here  (scroll down to "Other Giving") to help with covering staff salaries during our temporary closure in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week!

FMS is committed to paying our staff during this time of distance learning even though we are not collecting tuition.  THANK YOU to our families who have made donations to help offset that expense.  If you are able to make a donation for staff salaries at this time, it is very much appreciated.  Donations may be made through  FUMCD's website and donation receipts will be provided by the church (scroll down to "Other Giving").

Thank you for your support!
