Seventh graders held their annual Business Expo. Students showcased their knowledge of entrepreneurial practices by creating a business product or service and selling to all fifth and sixth grade classes. This Expo was a huge success and will fund the 7th Grade class end of year excursion.

The End is in Sight
Signs of spring are slowly surrounding us and we find ourselves facing the “final stretch” to the end of another school year. With so many upcoming trips and events planned that need parent chaperones, all adults are reminded that current background checks need to be on file with the school. Please get the paperwork into the district office in a timely manner.
Eighth Grade Recognition Night, scheduled for Tuesday, June 5, will be here soon. Letters were mailed to all eighth grade families on May 1. Please be sure to return the RSVP portion to school by May 29. Parent chaperones, including at least 2 fathers, will be needed for the dance after the ceremony.
As you can see below, students and staff have been busy with all kinds of learning activities. Thank you for helping your child have a successful year at SFMS.
Sincerely,
Meloney Markofski

Our 6th grade students recently experienced special guests during a Birds of Prey program. Diane Moeller of Hoo’s Woods Rapture Center, located in Milton, WI, talked with them about rehabilitation of birds and what can be done to help. Accompanying Diane were some of her bird friends ‘hoo’ are always popular!

Seventh grade science classes have been working on genetics, natural selection and evolution. Students used characters from Sesame Street to cross and model how traits are passed on to offspring.

Engagement in 7th Grade General Music
|
|
|
|
|
These are 7th Grade Music Appreciation Students that have chosen a pop song and have collaborated to perform it today. We are working on contemporary music and the students are now using the instruments that we have studied this year to put it all together doing something they enjoy and meeting the standard for performance. You will notice that some have things memorized, some are using paper, and some are improving whatever best fits their learning needs. Enjoy!
