We would like to take a moment to recognize a student that broke a school record. Isabelle Eppert is now the Farwell Area School 5k record holder with a time of 20:12. This is such a well deserved honor. Congratulations Isabelle!!
Hello Eagle students, fans, and alumni! We are all excited about our FHS 2023 Homecoming game and parade tomorrow against Coleman. Our staff and administration is looking forward to all the activities and excitement. Our homecoming advisors are ready for the 4:00 parade starting at the school and ending at the KLP practice football field. Our football team has been preparing for this 7:00 kickoff all week and they are definitely ready to put on a show for all of our Farwell community!
Along with this, we want to make sure that our football games are an exciting and safe area for everyone. As safety is always our number one priority we are only permitting middle school students and younger into games with an adult guardian. Additionally, we are expecting all spectators to come watch the game from the bleachers. We are encouraging all to support our Farwell team and to be loud and excited in the bleacher area as they cheer on our Eagles! With staff managing the event, we do not provide supervision under or behind the bleachers for students to group up or play tag and football. This has created safety and liability issues as well as injuries.
We are hoping to have our Farwell community all come together, cheer on our varsity football team from the stands and create a real home-field advantage for our Eagles! Hope to see everyone out supporting our FHS football team and enjoying all the Homecoming 2023 events.
From Farwell Administration
Warm and sunny a beautiful day for the local annual Labor Day Parade. We had our Farwell band and some of our FAS staff in attendance to show our support in the community.
