Please join us in congratulating one of our own Derek Plichta. He was involved in a state competition for writing an essay for the VFW. Today he was announced as the winner of the State of Michigan Patriot Pen Competition. To honor this accomplishment we ask that if you are able to come there will be a parade held at 3pm on E Main Street. Derek and his family will drive through and we can cheer him on for this awesome accomplishment.


Tonight's JV Basketball games will still take place starting at 6pm. All other practices for tonight are optional and athletes should contact their coaches.

The Farwell Sports Boosters are happy to announce the winners of the 3rd Annual Beef Raffle!
No spoilers here though - so watch Eddie the Eagle pick the winning tickets on the video!

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!
