Today FCMS is celebrating our staff members who have served our district for 20+ years. Brook Wiant and Lori Edwards not only both went through our D5 school system as students, but have continued to work here for over two decades! They are truly pillars of and servants of our community. Thank you for your amazing commitment to D5!


Today Miss Warren’s Theatre Imaginations students performed an alternative-ending, musical performance of The Little Mermaid. It was a little fishy, a lot hilarious, and was super entertaining. Well done! 🎭







Today is National Boss’ Day, and FCMS is proud to be led so well by Mr. Kay. It has been his vision to create an environment of positivity, acknowledgment, collective goals, creativity, safety, and honesty. By instilling and modeling great character and strong values, he has shaped our school into one where people are invested and very happy to be here. We are fortunate that you are our captain on an amazing journey. Thank you, Josh Kay! You are making a real difference!
