Falcons, there will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, April 18th and Monday, April 21st as we take a little egg-stra time to rest and recharge! ❤️🖤 Enjoy your Easter break, make some memories, and don’t forget to crack open those books just a little—because we’ll be hopping right back into action on Tuesday, April 22nd to finish the Math STAAR strong! 🧠💪 Rest up, Falcons—let’s come back ready to hatch some big wins! 🦅📚

Our 6th grade softball team crushed it with a 15–0 victory over Cathey! 🔥💪 These Falcons are flying high with skill, teamwork, and an undefeated streak that keeps on growing. 🦅

Our Falcons took the win over Morris in a thrilling 9–8 game! 💪 Proud of their hustle, teamwork, and drive to keep the streak alive. Way to represent, team! 🦅🔥

Huge congratulations to 35 of our Fossum choir students who earned a coveted spot in the Middle School Region Choir! 🎤 This is no small accomplishment, and our Falcons hit all the right notes with excellence and dedication.

Our incredible Falcon artists showed up and showed out! Their powerful pieces earned the highest ratings—but it didn’t stop there. During their interviews, judges were blown away by their knowledge, passion, and respectful presence. 🖤 “They create with their heart and passion. Their messages were evident throughout their pieces.” - Mrs. Garza❤️ We’re so proud of the talent, effort, and heart these students pour into their art. 🦅

Our Science Olympiad team soared to 28th place in the Texas state tournament at Texas A&M! 🧪🐟🌬️ 🏅 Top finishes included 9th place in Ichthyology (that’s fish!) and 9th in Wind Power—but even better?

📚🎉 Happy National Library Week! 🎉📚 This year’s theme is “Drawn to the Library”—a perfect tribute to the colorful world of graphic novels, art, and the magic of storytelling in all its forms! 💡 Fun Library Fact: Did you know the Library of Congress is the largest library in the world, with more than 170 million items? That’s a lot of stories waiting to be discovered! 💥 Graphic Novel Spotlight: Graphic novels aren’t just for kids! From memoirs to mysteries, they cover every genre imaginable. In fact, graphic novels boost comprehension and engagement, especially for visual learners! Our FMS Library spotlight today is on Raina Telgemeire's graphic novel adaptation of the classic series, The Babysitter's Club!
