Fergus Falls Middle School wants your son or daughter to get their school year off to a great start and the “Right Start” program will help ensure that is exactly what happens. We are inviting your child to join the other incoming 5th graders for a school orientation day on August 17th. Students that join us will learn about the 5th grade routines, get a tour of the building, practice locker combinations, and other important information.
There will also be a short informational session for parents at the beginning of the session you choose. We will begin in the Kennedy School Main Entrance “A” and meet in the Foyer Area.

7th and 8th grade REACH students have been busy growing sunflowers as part of their "Nature and Good Health" days. Last week they took their little seedlings outside to be replanted along the Otter Trail. Some of the Sunflowers planted could grow to be 12' tall! If you are back on the trail this summer, keep an eye out for the REACH Sunflowers.
