The FMS woodshop lift lends a helping hand to build the set for One Stoplight Town. Come out and see the play tonight! 6:30 house opens and 7:00 begins.


Come on out TONIGHT for your last chance to see the FMS play in action!
One Stoplight Town is a story about people from a town so small that you might drive through without taking a second look. But if you stopped for just a moment, you might see a boy and girl fall in love, a cantankerous grocery store owner coping with change, someone returning home while someone else thinks about leaving, a beauty queen and a drum major striking up a friendship, and a handy (wo)man taking it all in while she fixes what is broken. These stories are filled with fun characters, lots of humor, plenty of heart, and the theme that change comes for us all, whether we are ready or not.


Day in and day out, our custodians go above the call of duty to support the functions of our building!
Big thanks to Mr. Brian for helping fix a broken down wagon - and teaching some life skills while we're at it! We are up and rolling again!


Come out TONIGHT to see our students act in the FMS play!

Due to predicted wind gusts and weather conditions, Fairfield Schools has cancelled classes for Wednesday, March 5th. Watch for announcements later in the day in regard to after school activities.


During 5th grade ELA, we started our own version of March Book Madness to introduce students to some different 5th grade level texts. We watch a preview of two books each day and vote on our favorite of the day. The students have been loving this and have already been asking if they can check these books out in the library!



The FMS Play is this week! See the flyer for info about how to come see our student actors in action!
