FFMS teachers took advantage of these last few days to engage our students in some hands-on engaging lessons such as frog dissection, archery with Coach Ralph & Coach Matt, a paper airplane flying contest, Greek Olympics, and yearbook signing. What a great way to end the year.
We hope everyone has a wonderful summer!

FFMS is extremely proud of Trasa Rossi and Shayna Cherington for being selected by their peers as our Teacher of the Year and Classified Employee of the Year!

Trasa Rossi (TOY) just finished her fourth year as an Exceptional Children's teacher. She was recognized by her colleagues for being kind and holding her students to high expectations. She builds amazing support with her students so they can feel safe and motivated to learn. She uses assessments and progress monitoring to make sure her students are reaching their goals, and she's a huge support to her colleagues as well! Several nominations included, "She's absolutely the BEST!"

Shayna Cherington (CEOY) just finished her first year as an instructional assistant in our exceptional children's extended content standards classroom. Her colleagues describe her as kind, patient, and thoughtful in her interactions with her students and colleagues. She is extremely dependable and shows a desire for continuous learning and she greets everyone with a smile. One person wrote, "We could all learn a lot from her!"

Our 6th graders enjoyed a great time with the Coastal Federation, Water and Soul Conservation and Park Rangers at Jockey's Ridge.
Students helped plant about 3,000 plants for Jockey's Ridge living shore line. They learned about the salinity of the sound, ph and the organisms that live in the estuary. Thank you to all that made this possible.
