*Need Baked Goods ???*
Hello parents! Our 8th grade class will be heading to Great America on June
6th to celebrate the end of their Middle School years! The trip committee
has been working on ways to offset the cost of this trip. We held a very
successful bake sale in January. We have decided to hold another bake sale
in the hope to raise the rest of the money needed to keep the cost the same
as it has been in past years for families. Baked goods will be sold after
the play performances Thursday through Saturday (3/15-3/17). A huge thank
you goes out to Mrs. Woodworth and her Culinary 3 class at the High
School. They will be making the baked goods for our sale!!!
Fifty-one music students are busy preparing for the annual Solo & Ensemble
Festival scheduled for Saturday, March 24th at New Holstein High School.
SFMS will be represented in a total of 55 solo and small ensemble entries
including Show Choir and Jazz Ensemble. We would like to thank our parents
ahead of time for supporting their aspiring young musicians by attending
their performances. Events are scheduled to begin at 8:00 a.m. A
Preliminary Schedule will be available March 9th and a Final Schedule and
Site Map will be available March 16th. Please contact Mrs. Winkler at
[email protected] if you are able to volunteer your time as
a homeroom chaperone.
The Annual SFMS Student Art Exhibit is almost here! Our annual showcase of
awesome student art is next week, March 15-17 (same nights as the musical)
This is our final art exhibit here at 101 School Street! Lots of memories
we will leave behind.
March is also Youth Art Month so we are celebrating the role and importance
of the arts in our schools. We are so fortunate to have so many art
classes offered to students here in Sheboygan Falls.
Our cafeteria will be transformed into an art gallery next weekend. Mrs.
Fischer has been saving hundreds of art pieces from this past school year
to display. But, students may also bring in artwork that they may have
taken home already, or artwork created at home “in your free time”. Bring
in these items to Mrs. Fischer ASAP.
During intermission of the musical “Annie Jr.”, and before and after the
show, the Art Exhibit will also have refreshments available. Donations are
greatly appreciated as it is a way to raise extra funds for art supplies!
Parent volunteers are needed to help hang artwork Wednesday after school,
and we will need help taking tables down and moving artwork on
SATURDAYNIGHT after the final Annie performance. (students could help
with Saturday night takedown)
Hawaiian & Beach Dress Up Day March 16th. Beach party at lunch. Please
remember to bring a towel or blanket to sit on during lunch.
Any 8th grader boys interested in playing soccer in HS, there will be a
meeting in the MS gym lobby with Coach Koepsell to talk about summer
scheduling and answer any questions. The meeting will be March 21st at
10:30am.
There will be a wrap-up FBLA pizza celebration/meeting on Thursday, March 22,
in Ms. Probst’s room (204) after school. We will go over our results from
regionals, celebrate our accomplishments, and brainstorm for next year.

Any seventh and eighth grade students interested in Track and Field should
sign up in the office starting March 6th. Track and Field is a great way to
learn how to compete while you improve speed, strength, and endurance while
having a great time with friends and teammates. Everyone
participates–there is no bench in Track and Field! Practice starts on April
3rd (the first day after break), and meets begin April 16. All athletes
need to have paperwork completed (athletic code, concussion form, physical)
and fees turned in before the first practice to participate. There is a
parent meeting at 5pm on April 3rd in the gym. If you have any questions
about the forms, please ask in the middle school office.
Music In Our Schools Month® or “MIOSM®” is the National Association for
Music Education’s annual celebration during March which engages music
educators, students, and communities from around the country in promoting
the benefits of high quality music education programs in schools. Music In
Our Schools Month® began as a single statewide Advocacy Day and celebration
in New York in 1973 and grew over the decades to become a month-long
celebration of school music in 1985.
To show our support we will feature a music “quote of the day” in the daily
announcements. We also encourage students to wear shirts that promote
music. “Music Mondays” will be our big day but feel free to show your
support for music any/all days of the week.
Let’s all band together to celebrate *World Down Syndrome Awareness
Day* on March
21st, 2018!
How??? …by breaking out your crazy socks for ‘Lots of Socks Day’! Let’s
increase our awareness as we have a bunch of fun celebrating and supporting
our learners with Down Syndrome. Every *one* of us is unique and can make
positive contributions to our community. Let’s show that uniqueness by
wearing our crazy socks on Wednesday, March 21st! Thanks for all your
support!
*There should be no photos or videos taken backstage it is still part of
the school day. We will make an exception when we are in makeup, but never
when we are backstage and waiting to go on.
*I will attach the photo form – I think the photo will be taken March 14th,
but I can’t say that for sure yet. I will release the final week schedule
next week.
*The T-shirts have been ordered. I have ordered a few extras. It will be
a first come first serve basis for those of you that did not get your order
in.
*I could also use a parent next week and the following week in the halls to
help with supervision. You will need a background check; however, it is a
great way to get to know our cast!
Below you will find a sign-up genius for the takedown of the art show and
striking (taking down) of the set. This will need to be done on the final
night of the play. We need all hand on deck to make that happen.
I’ve also listed clean-ups that still have a few slots open. 🙂
Tickets are available in the Middle School Office – They will go fast
because we have a big cast. Please make sure you get yours early!

*Health Tip:*
*Why do we have to eat healthy food?*
*Do you know what your liver does?* Your liver, processes all the foods you
eat, makes energy, muscles, strong bones, processes cholesterol, fats,
sugars, drugs, etc. Your liver also helps you stay well and recover when
you are sick.
*Your liver cannot do its hundreds of life saving jobs if you feed
it.*…..fatty
foods, sugary drinks, greasy burgers, pizza, and starchy foods
*A healthy liver depends on* your choice of food and drink, so make sure
you get plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish, lean meats, whole grains
and beans.
