School News

The FLMS 2026 soccer session came to a close yesterday versus Bridgewater. The girls won 3-1 featuring goals from Alivia, Anna, and Lorelei, assisted by Olivia. The boys lost a tough game 4-0. Congrats to all the athletes who worked hard and represented our school well. A reminder to all soccer players, bring in your washed jerseys on Monday to Mr. Smith or the main office.

Do you have a pet? Is he or she the cutest pet in the school? Prove it! The Newspaper club wants you to submit a picture of your pet in hopes of being crowned the cutest pet in the school. Email Julia your submission before Thanksgiving break if you wish to enter. Her email address can be found on flyers posted around the school. Good luck!

Basketball tryouts start next week! The girls tryouts will start on Monday 11/9 and the boys tryouts will start on Thursday 11/12. Tryouts will start after school and go until 4:30. If you have not completed the survey or talked to Mrs. Holmes or Mr. Gallagher you need to do so before tryouts. If you do not have an updated physical you cannot try out.

Every day we need to be thankful. During the month of November, be thankful on Thankful Thursdays by sharing what you are most thankful for. At all lunches, you can share your thoughts by writing them down and placing them in the Thanksgiving jar at the Student Council table in the cafeteria. Each Thursday, we will share what FLMS is thankful for during Anchor block announcements.

Thanksgiving Baskets

Who would like to pick a feather from the turkey? We are reaching out to our FLMS community to help us create and provide Thanksgiving Baskets for families who could use a little support during the Thanksgiving holiday. Turkeys, juice, rolls and butter have already been generously donated so we need your help for the fixings. If you would like to donate an item listed below, please have your student stop by the guidance department to pick a feather from the turkey, I will confirm your donations via email. Students and staff can drop off their donations to guidance. Donations are due no later than Wednesday, November 18th. Pies can be dropped off on Monday, November 23rd. We are truly grateful to our amazing staff and community for all of your contributions!

May your Thanksgiving be bountiful with reasons to be grateful!
