Many thanks to teachers, aides, student aides, parents and family for a great PK Christmas Program - they made the true meaning of Christmas very special for everyone!

Gingerbread Houses Help Gabriel House

From Mrs. Tuma: The 3rd grade class would like to thank everyone who helped out with the Gingerbread Houses. They were a huge success and it would not have been possible without so many of you. We are so excited to report that we raised $350 for The Gabriel House! We prayed and hoped that we would be able to bless them, but never did we imagine the blessing would be this large. The 3rd graders and I can’t thank you enough for your help in reaching out to an amazing organization right here in our community. Have a Merry Christmas! (Students pictured with Mr. Ed Ravish, co-founder of the Gabriel House)

Mrs. Sanders 4th grade class was honored today to have a special guest: Fort Myers Mayor, Mr. Randy Henderson.

Our mayor also did a great job talking about how his faith plays an important part in his life.

Special Project in 2A

From Mrs. Jennings, 2A teacher: As part of our reading the curriculum, 2nd grade completed a unit on "People in our Community." The class was was divided into two co-operative learning groups. Day one individually the students had to write a list of what they personally thought makes up a good city. Day two: the groups had to come together to talk about why cities are different than living in the country and share which they would prefer to live in the city or the country. They then each had to read through their city list and the group had to pick one idea from each person and combine them in to a group paragraph titled, "What is in our City". Day Three: the groups had to re-read their story "People, People, Everywhere!" then lay out and design the city they wanted to make. Finally using various materials the group together had to build their cities.

And The Winners Are...

The final results: the following students will represent FMCS at the Edison Regional Science Fair at Harborside in 2011:

Tyler Williams
Tristian Upton
Elijah Benzon
Joshua Harriot
Sarah Swiersz
Tori Weller
Thomas Kearns
Joshua Harvey
Andy Crouch
Zach Leibetreu
Will Perri

Veterans Day 2011

November 11th has been special at FMCS with our annual visit from our heroes on Veterans Day! Many thanks to our veterans for coming in today and sharing with our generation of young people - patriotism, courage, strength, honor for God and country. I am thankful for the awesome work of Paula Dillon, Jennifer Crouch, Dorothy Yorty, our teachers, and students - our middle school chorus and our National Junior Honor Society students especially. We had amazing stories from various wars, conflicts - including one who was present on D-Day and another that was sent to Hiroshima after the bomb was dropped. This was a great morning. (Also: thanks to our parents for providing breakfast for the veterans)

King Richards Reward

An awesome weather day to go to King Richards Fun Park in Naples - 20 of our middle schoolers earned this day as a reward from the Abundant Funds Fundraiser. We had a great time!
