Today FCMS was honored to be visited by and celebrate a distinguished group of American veterans from our community. Curtis Martin shared of his military experiences and impressed upon us all of the value that our servicemen and women have for our country. Our orchestra, chorus, band, and theatre students each performed uniquely and beautifully. It was a fantastic tribute and incredible morning at our school.
“While we can never repay you, we promise to honor you.” Curtis Martin 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸











Important information about upcoming IGP meetings!


Racham science students recently worked on a “Boo Bubbles” lab. They observed sublimation, which is the rare phase change of solid to gas using dry ice. Super engaging learning experience!











The last 2 days, Ms. Peery’s students dove into the traditions of Dia de Los Muertos, culminating with students getting to make their very own sugar skulls! #CougarsLEAD

AVID, Beta Club, and the House Council teamed up to improve the cleanliness of Shoals Road. In total, 29 students, and 4 adults collected 11 bags of trash and one election sign. This service project allows students to put into practice the responsibility of keeping our community litter-free. Thank you for your selfless contributions!







This week our library hosted a Literary Pumpkin Contest, as students decorated a pumpkin in the style of a character from a book. The results are incredibly colorful, thoughtful, and creative. Proud of our contestants! #CougarsLEAD
