Last week 7th grade gifted students traveled to Presque Isle to help the Erie Bird Observatory band birds. Students learned about the migratory patterns of birds in this region, threats facing our bird populations, and why gathering data through banding is so important to conservation efforts in our area.
On Tuesday, September 29th, select 7th and 8th grade students participated in a Leadership Summit led by Jamar Root from Teen Truth. Jamar challenged students to consider how the small, everyday decisions we make can have a meaningful impact on our school culture.
Throughout the morning, students worked collaboratively to identify challenges they experience as students at FMS and brainstormed solutions to help address them. Most importantly, students were empowered to recognize that they have a voice and an important role to play in shaping their school community.
We are excited to build on the ideas and solutions generated during the summit and work alongside our students to turn their ideas into action as we continue striving to make FMS an inclusive, positive, and welcoming place to learn and grow.
