Where did the school year go?! We have enjoyed an AWESOME school year. I am very proud of our FMS family. We praise God for His goodness to FMS!

We are excited about the adventure-filled summer ahead and 2023-2024 school year! Thank you for sharing your precious children with us. It's not too late to enroll for Summer Fun or the 2023-2024 school year!

In order for us to have school in person, anyone with symptoms of any illness must remain at home. Please monitor your child's health and the persons in your student's household to ensure that COVID and other illnesses are not introduced into our buildings. COVID-19 vaccines are free, readily available, and are the most effective way to prevent the spread of the virus. Please take advantage of available resources and follow the guidance of the local health departments and the CDC to ensure the health and safety of your family and our school.
