From Ms. Markofski, Principal
Dear SFMS Families,
Thank you for sharing your children with us! Each of them has brought joy and happiness to our school learning community. You should be very proud of their efforts. Please know that without your support, we could not provide the wonderful learning experiences we do each and every day with your children.
Thank you and have a safe, happy, and healthy summer!
Ms. Markofski

PTO change for 2016/17
Our MS PTO is restructuring for the 2016-17 school year as an Activity Account managed through the school district. Elected officers will still organize and secure volunteers to host activities. But, there will NOT be any more face-to-face meetings. We have found that today’s families are so incredibly busy with their children and jobs that attending meetings is not really a priority anymore. Yet, if we send out an email request or video announcement, folks are willing to pitch in where and when needed. Because of this, we are going to run the group in an on-line format for the 2016-17 school year and see how it goes. Please watch for more information at Registration time.

Recycle Greenhouse Project
The student’s from Mrs. Charbonneau’s enrichment class with the help of the Eco Nature Club are make creating a Greenhouse. The Eco Nature Club, a student initiated club advised by Mrs. Fiorini, began this project about 3 years ago.

Business EXPO 2016
Over 100 seventh grade students put on their entrepreneurial caps to develop new businesses & products for the annual Seventh Grade Business Expo that was held on Friday, April 29. Booths representing 53 businesses were created, which included unique products like cake pops, animal pelt bookmarks, & “Presidential sweets.”  Students have been studying entrepreneurship through Junior Achievement classes in Social Studies.  After analyzing video commercials & print ads in language arts, students developed their own advertisements, including their storefront posters that are meant to attract customers to their booths during the Business Expo.  The students decide on a product to make & determine how many to produce for sale to fifth & sixth grade customers. Students learned work and career readiness skills such as choosing & developing a product & understanding their market in order to promote goods & services. Some businesses earned awards for Best Storefront Poster, most Unique Products, or Best Overall Display, which included packaging & extras like coordinated clothing.

Miss Katie Redeker was a celebrity reader for the 7th and 8th graders. She shared the book I’m Gonna Like Me which discussed the importance of having a high self esteem, and she even stayed to read one-on-one with the students during their independent reading rotation.  The students really enjoyed this experience!
