April is Child Abuse Prevention Month! This Event is Free and Open to Clare and Gladwin County Families. Go check it out!
Farwell Elementary students participated in a school wide project to build a community garden! Students were asked to share ways they are a part of their community or ways they can give back to their communities. Students identified they could pick up trash, help neighbors with yard work, offer to help those in need and make donations to the animal shelter. Three students were drawn out of a raffle to win a prize bag.
April is Child Abuse Prevention! Here is a calendar with some family community events and trainings happening throughout the month. Please contact the Northern Michigan Alliance for Children with any questions.

Farwell Elementary is proud to partner with Mid Michigan Big Brothers Big Sisters and together we are launching a Farwell Elementary Lunch Buddies program. Our students will have the opportunity to be paired with a mentor at the school during their lunch and recess periods and will meet with their Lunch Buddy once per week! We are currently working with the Farwell High School (including their National Honor Society students) to provide mentors for our students. This is an exciting program and if you would like your student to have a Lunch Buddy, please let us know by calling the Elementary office 989-588-9916 and we will send home a sign-up sheet with your student! The first 10 to respond will be matched as soon as possible and all others will be placed on a list to be matched as soon as we find them a mentor.
