Our Middle School staff/teachers purchased several items to create Thanksgiving Baskets for a few of our Middle School Families.
The Middle School Student Council is currently selling Spirit Wear to raise money for playground equipment. Order forms were sent home with students and emailed to families last week. Extra order forms are available in the middle school office. Orders must be turned in to the middle school office, or to Mrs. Trites, by Wednesday, November 22. There are short sleeve tee shirts ($12), long sleeve tee shirts ($20), crew neck sweatshirts ($25), and hoodies ($32) available. All shirts are available in youth and adult sizes. Shirts will arrive by December 18 so you will have them before the winter break

Farwell Cross Country will be hosting a food pantry drive for Good Samaritans Ministry. The directors of this ministry are Ken and Marilyn Vandrick, who graciously allowed us to use their property to host JPC #1. Ken and Marilyn’s ministry provides non perishable food for kids and families in need of extra support. They also offer free academic tutoring services to students. Good Samaritans Ministry is located in downtown Farwell. Donations may be taken to the FHS library.
Thank you for your support in our effort.
Congratulations to all of our Middle School Students of Character!
Reminder! The Blood Drive is being held on Monday, October 23rd. Schedule an appointment if you are interested!
Once in a High School career can you experience a HOME cross-country meet, be sure to mark your calendars...Wednesday, September 20th at Pleasant Meadows on M 115.
Farwell Cross Country will be hosting a home meet next week. Ken and Marilyn Vandrick of Good Samaritan Ministry and Pleasant Meadows Golf Course have graciously allowed us to use their beautiful property. If you have never experienced the excitement and positive energy of a cross country meet, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! Bring out your younger children that may have future passions for running and allow them to catch the running bug. The cross team would love all the support they can get from the community, the student body and fellow athletic teams. The varsity girls team will run first at 4:30pm, followed by varsity boys at 5:00pm and middle school at 5:30pm.
If you have an interest in volunteering your help during these time frames, please reach out to sbell@farwellschools.net. It takes a small army to successfully run a cross country meet, we will be able to put you to work!
